Methadone detox is a process which should always be undertaken by drug rehab specialists in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that acknowledges how serious and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more severe when considering symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and persons often relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be undergone under close supervision at a Robbins, North Carolina drug treatment facility that has experience in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may receive further treatment methods to address all substance abuse issues.
