Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should be undertaken by drug treatment professionals in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that recognizes how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification is. Methadone detoxification is very often far more serious in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or even worse turn to heroin or medical narcotics to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. This is why methadone detoxification should only be attempted under close supervision at a Tibbie, Alabama drug detox facility that has experience in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the person may receive further rehabilitation methods to address all addiction issues.
