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

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification every day or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a normal school or work schedule. Certain facilities also provide options to receive detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time people remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. At times when medications 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 individuals handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Lisbon is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals 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 comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
