Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Carnegie, PA.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center assisting them through detoxification daily or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a regular work or school routine. Some facilities may also offer options to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

An average time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detox services. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Carnegie is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
