Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Washburn, ME.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them through detox every day or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a normal work or school schedule. Certain programs may also offer ways to get detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Washburn is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
