Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be undertaken with the assistance of drug detox professionals in a drug rehab facility that recognizes how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is very often far more severe when considering symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and persons often go back to methadone to ease symptoms or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms. Due to this methadone detox should only be attempted under close supervision at a North Charleston, South Carolina drug treatment facility which has expertise in handling this form of detoxification, and where the person may partake in more extensive rehabilitation methods to handle all substance abuse problems.
