Methadone detoxification is a process which should be overseen by drug treatment professionals in a drug rehabilitation center that understands how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is known to be significantly more severe when considering symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons can very easily relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or medical narcotics to alleviate symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be attempted under close supervision at a Parris Island, South Carolina drug treatment facility which has expertise in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the individual may take part in more rehab services to address all addiction issues.
