Methadone detox is a course of action which should always be undertaken by drug rehab experts in a drug rehabilitation facility that understands how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more severe when considering symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals sometimes go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a South Ozone Park drug rehab that has experience in handling this form of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing may take part in more rehabilitation methods to overcome all substance abuse problems.
