Methadone detox is a process which should always be overseen by drug detox professionals in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that understands how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detoxification is very often far more severe in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals can very easily relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet turn to heroin or medical pain relievers to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be attempted under close supervision at a Moultrie drug rehab that has expertise in handling this form of detoxification, and where the person can take part in more extensive rehabilitation services to address all substance abuse problems.
