Methadone detoxification is a process which should be undertaken by drug detox experts in an alcohol and drug rehab center that recognizes how tricky and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is very often far more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals can very easily go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of treatment professionals at a Sullivan City drug treatment facility that has experience in addressing this form of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing may receive further treatment services to handle all addiction concerns.
