Methadone detoxification is a process which should be undertaken with the assistance of drug treatment professionals in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that acknowledges how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals can very easily go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription pain relievers to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detox should only be undergone under close supervision at a Millville drug treatment facility which has experience in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the person can receive further rehabilitation services to handle all substance abuse problems.
