Methadone detox is a procedure which should always be undertaken by drug treatment professionals in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that recognizes how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification is. Methadone detoxification is known as being significantly more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals often relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical opioids to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detox should only be undergone under close supervision at a Woodlawn Park, KY. drug treatment facility which has expertise in addressing this type of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing can receive further rehabilitation services to address all addiction issues.
