Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be overseen by drug rehab specialists in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that recognizes how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more severe 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 even worse turn to heroin or prescription narcotics to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be undergone under close supervision at a New Holland, SD. drug detox facility which has experience in handling this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may take part in more extensive treatment methods to handle all substance abuse issues.
