Methadone detox is a course of action which should be overseen by drug detox professionals in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that understands how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is known as being far more serious in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons often go back to methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or medical narcotics to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detox should only be undergone under close supervision at a Lead Hill, Arkansas drug rehab that has experience in handling this type of detoxification, and where the person may take part in more extensive treatment services to address all substance abuse concerns.
