Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should be undertaken by drug treatment professionals in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that acknowledges how serious and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is very often significantly more severe in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons often relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or prescription narcotics to ease symptoms. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of staff at an Ellenton, Georgia drug rehab that has experience in addressing this form of detox, and where the individual may partake in further rehab services to overcome all addiction concerns.
