Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Northfield, CT.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a regular work or school routine. Certain facilities may provide ways to participate in detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detox services. At times when medications are necessary to avert deadly withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Northfield is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
