Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be overseen by drug treatment professionals in a drug and alcohol rehab program that acknowledges how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification is. Methadone detoxification is very often far more serious when considering symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical narcotics to alleviate symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be undergone under close supervision at a Martin, GA. drug treatment facility which has experience in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the person can receive further rehabilitation services to handle all addiction problems.
