Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be undertaken by drug rehab experts in a drug rehab center that understands how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more serious when considering symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and persons sometimes relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription narcotics to alleviate symptoms. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a Dorchester drug detox facility which has expertise in addressing this form of detox, and where the person can take part in further treatment services to handle all substance abuse problems.
