Methadone detoxification is a process which should be overseen by drug detox specialists in a drug rehabilitation center that acknowledges how serious and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is known to be significantly more serious when considering symptoms and duration than even heroin detoxification, and individuals can very easily go back to methadone to ease symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or medical narcotics to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be undergone under close supervision at a Moyock drug rehab which has experience in handling this form of detox, and where the individual can partake in further rehabilitation services to handle all substance abuse issues.
