Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be undertaken with the assistance of drug rehab professionals in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that recognizes how serious and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detoxification is known as being far more severe in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons often relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or even worse turn to heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be attempted under close supervision at a Rye, New Hampshire drug rehab which has experience in handling this type of detoxification, and where the person may partake in further treatment services to overcome all substance abuse issues.
