Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be undertaken with the assistance of drug treatment specialists in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that recognizes how tricky and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is very often far more severe when considering symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals can very easily relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription pain relievers to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be undergone under with the help of staff at an Aberdeen drug detox facility that has experience in handling this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may receive more treatment methods to handle all substance abuse problems.
