Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should always be undertaken with the assistance of drug detox experts in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that acknowledges how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more severe in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons sometimes relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or prescription pain relievers to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be undergone under close supervision at a Wayne, New Jersey drug rehab that has experience in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the individual may take part in further treatment methods to address all substance abuse concerns.
