Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Richmond, ME.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them through detoxification daily or at least five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who must maintain a regular school or work schedule. Certain facilities may offer options to receive 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 seven days. A number of facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detox services. At times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Richmond is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a severe drawback is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
