Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Downingtown, PA.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center assisting them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a regular school or work routine. Some programs may provide options to participate in detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. At times when medications are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Downingtown is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
