Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Monroe, ME.

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them through detox daily or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who must keep a normal school or work schedule. Some facilities also provide ways to get detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

An average time people participate in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detox treatement. At times when medications are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.

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