Methadone detox is a procedure which should be overseen with the assistance of drug treatment experts in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that understands how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is very often far more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and duration than even heroin detoxification, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical opioids to ease symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detox should only be attempted under close supervision at a Sandia Park, NM. drug rehab which has experience in addressing this form of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing can receive further treatment services to address all substance abuse problems.
