Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should always be undertaken by drug detox professionals in a drug and alcohol rehab center that recognizes how serious and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is known as being significantly more serious when considering symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or prescription pain relievers to ease symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Lynn drug rehab which has experience in handling this type of detox, and where the person can partake in further treatment services to overcome all addiction concerns.
