Methadone detox is a process which should be undertaken by drug rehab professionals in a drug and alcohol treatment center that recognizes how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detox is very often far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detoxification, and individuals often go back to methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription pain relievers to ease symptoms. Due to this methadone detox should only be undergone under close supervision at a Safford, Alabama drug detox facility that has expertise in addressing this form of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing can partake in more treatment services to address all substance abuse issues.
