Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Clinton, ME.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detox every day or at minimum five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work routine. Certain programs may provide options to receive detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, staff at the facility help individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Clinton is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
