Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Kent, CT.

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility assisting them through detoxification daily or at minimum five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a regular school or work schedule. Certain facilities may offer ways to participate in detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time people participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help clients manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Kent is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
