Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be undertaken by drug rehab professionals in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that understands how serious and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more severe when considering symptoms and duration than even heroin detoxification, and individuals often go back to methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical pain relievers to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of treatment professionals at a Cornish drug treatment facility which has experience in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may partake in more extensive rehabilitation services to address all addiction problems.
