Methadone detox is a process which should always be undertaken by drug treatment experts in a drug treatment facility that acknowledges how tricky and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is very often significantly more severe in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons often go back to methadone to relieve symptoms or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription pain relievers to relieve symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Marble, NC. drug treatment facility that has expertise in addressing this type of detox, and where the person can partake in further treatment services to address all addiction problems.
