Methadone detoxification is a process which should be undertaken by drug rehab professionals in a drug treatment facility that understands how serious and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is known as being far more severe in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons sometimes relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet turn to heroin or medical opioids to relieve symptoms. Due to this methadone detox should only be attempted under close supervision at a Mc Neil, Arkansas drug rehab which has expertise in handling this form of detoxification, and where the person may receive more extensive rehab services to address all addiction problems.
