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

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to keep a regular school or work schedule. Some programs also provide options to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time clients remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox services. There are times when medications are necessary to avert deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the center help people handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Skowhegan is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very severe drawback is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
