Methadone detox is a process which should be undertaken with the assistance of drug treatment professionals in a drug rehab center that acknowledges how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is very often significantly more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals can very easily go back to methadone to ease symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or prescription narcotics to ease symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be attempted under close supervision at a Franklin Lakes drug rehab that has experience in handling this form of detox, and where the person can receive more rehab services to overcome all addiction concerns.
