Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should always be undertaken by drug detox specialists in a drug and alcohol rehab center that recognizes how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification is. Methadone detoxification is known to be significantly more serious in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons sometimes relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription pain relievers to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be attempted under close supervision at a Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire drug detox facility which has experience in addressing this form of detox, and where the person may take part in further rehabilitation services to overcome all addiction issues.
