Methadone detoxification is a process which should be undertaken by drug detox specialists in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that understands how difficult and challenging methadone detox is. Methadone detox is very often far more serious in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals can very easily relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be attempted under close supervision at a West Milford, New Jersey drug rehab which has expertise in handling this form of detox, and where the person may receive further rehabilitation services to address all addiction issues.
