Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be overseen by drug detox experts in an alcohol and drug treatment center that recognizes how tricky and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is known to be significantly more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detoxification, and individuals can very easily relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or prescription narcotics to relieve symptoms. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a Sweet Water, AL. drug detox facility that has experience in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may receive further rehabilitation services to address all substance abuse issues.
