Methadone detox is a process which should always be overseen with the assistance of drug rehab professionals in a drug treatment center that recognizes how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is known as being significantly more severe in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons often go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or even worse turn to heroin or medical opioids to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be undergone under close supervision at an Union Point drug detox facility that has expertise in handling this type of detox, and where the individual can take part in further treatment services to address all substance abuse concerns.
