Methadone detox is a course of action which should always be undertaken by drug detox professionals in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that recognizes how serious and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons can very easily go back to methadone to relieve symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription narcotics to alleviate symptoms. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of treatment professionals at a Stone Ridge, New York drug rehab which has expertise in handling this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing can partake in further treatment services to overcome all addiction problems.
