Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be undertaken by drug treatment professionals in a drug and alcohol treatment program that acknowledges how serious and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is very often significantly 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 ease symptoms of withdrawal or even worse turn to heroin or medical opioids to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of treatment professionals at a Waynesboro drug detox facility that has experience in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the individual can receive more rehabilitation methods to handle all addiction concerns.
