Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should be overseen by drug treatment professionals in an alcohol and drug rehab program that understands how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is known as being significantly more severe when considering symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons often go back to methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical pain relievers to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detox should only be undergone under close supervision at a Keuka Park drug detox facility that has experience in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the person can receive further rehab services to address all addiction problems.
