Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should always be undertaken by drug treatment specialists in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that understands how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification is. Methadone detoxification is known as being significantly more severe in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals can very easily relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms or worse yet turn to heroin or medical pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. Due to this methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Logan, West Virginia drug rehab which has expertise in handling this type of detoxification, and where the individual can partake in further rehab services to overcome all substance abuse issues.
