Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Derby, CT.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them with their detoxification every day or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a normal school or work routine. Certain programs also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

An average time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detox treatement. At times when meds are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Derby is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
