Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be overseen by drug treatment experts in a drug and alcohol rehab program that understands how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detoxification is very often far more severe when considering symptoms and duration than even heroin detoxification, and individuals can very easily go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms or even worse begin abusing heroin or prescription pain relievers to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a Sparland drug detox facility that has experience in handling this type of detoxification, and where the individual can partake in more extensive rehab services to overcome all substance abuse problems.
