Methadone detox is a process which should always be undertaken by drug rehab specialists in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that recognizes how serious and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is very often far more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals can very easily go back to methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or prescription pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be attempted under close supervision at a Windsor, North Carolina drug detox facility that has experience in addressing this type of detox, and where the person may receive more extensive treatment methods to handle all substance abuse issues.
