Methadone detox is a course of action which should always be undertaken with the assistance of drug detox experts in a drug rehabilitation center that acknowledges how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detox is known as being far more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals often relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription pain relievers to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be attempted under close supervision at a Sandy Hook, Connecticut drug rehab which has experience in addressing this form of detox, and where the person may receive more extensive rehab methods to address all addiction problems.
