Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Thornhill, KY.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification every day or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Some facilities may also provide ways to participate in treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.

An average time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox services. At times when meds are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Thornhill is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
