Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Dover Foxcroft, ME.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them with their detoxification every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a normal school or work schedule. Some facilities may also offer ways to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. A number of facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide drug free detox services. There are times when meds are needed to avert deadly withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Dover Foxcroft is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that people are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
