Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be undertaken by drug detox professionals in a drug treatment center that acknowledges how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is known to be significantly more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription narcotics to ease symptoms. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be attempted under close supervision at a Springfield, Pennsylvania drug rehab that has experience in addressing this form of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing may take part in more rehab services to handle all addiction issues.
