Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be overseen by drug rehab experts in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that acknowledges how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is very often far more serious when considering symptoms and duration than even heroin detoxification, and persons sometimes relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or prescription narcotics to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Stockland drug rehab which has expertise in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing can take part in more treatment services to overcome all addiction problems.
