Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be overseen by drug detox experts in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that recognizes how tricky and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is very often far more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons can very easily relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription pain relievers to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detox should only be attempted under close supervision at a Harrington Park, New Jersey drug rehab which has experience in addressing this type of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing can receive more extensive treatment services to handle all substance abuse concerns.
