Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should always be undertaken by drug treatment experts in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that acknowledges how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is very often far more severe in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and duration than even heroin detox, and persons often go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or medical opioids to relieve symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of staff at a Jaffrey, New Hampshire drug treatment facility which has expertise in addressing this form of detox, and where the person may partake in further rehabilitation services to overcome all substance abuse problems.
