Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Springer, NM.

If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the center assisting them with their detoxification every day or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a regular school or work routine. Some facilities may also provide options to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. A number of facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Springer is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
