Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be overseen with the assistance of drug detox experts in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that understands how serious and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is very often far more serious in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals often go back to methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or even worse turn to heroin or medical pain relievers to ease symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be attempted under close supervision at a Fort Gordon drug treatment facility which has expertise in handling this form of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may partake in more extensive treatment methods to address all substance abuse concerns.
