Methadone detox is a course of action which should always be overseen by drug rehab experts in a drug rehabilitation facility that acknowledges how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification 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 persons often go back to methadone to ease symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a Tuscaloosa drug treatment facility which has expertise in handling this type of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing can receive more extensive rehab services to overcome all addiction concerns.
