Methadone detox is a process which should always be undertaken by drug rehab professionals in a drug and alcohol treatment program that acknowledges how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification is. Methadone detoxification is known as being significantly more serious when considering symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals can very easily relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription narcotics to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be attempted under with the help of staff at a Worthington Hills drug treatment facility that has expertise in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the person may partake in more rehabilitation methods to address all substance abuse concerns.
