Methadone detoxification is a process which should be undertaken with the assistance of drug rehab experts in a drug rehab center that acknowledges how tricky and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is very often far more serious when considering symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals often relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription narcotics to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detox should only be attempted under with the help of staff at a Sudbury drug rehab which has experience in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing can receive further treatment services to address all addiction problems.
