Methadone detox is a process which should be undertaken with the assistance of drug treatment professionals in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that acknowledges how serious and challenging methadone detox is. Methadone detoxification is known to be significantly more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or medical pain relievers to relieve symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be attempted under with the help of staff at a West Rockport, Maine drug treatment facility that has experience in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the individual may receive further treatment methods to address all addiction issues.
