Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should always be undertaken with the assistance of drug rehab professionals in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that understands how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more severe when considering symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons sometimes relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be attempted under with the help of treatment professionals at a Courtland drug treatment facility that has expertise in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the person can partake in further treatment services to overcome all substance abuse problems.
