Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Oakdale, PA.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them through detox every day or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a regular work or school routine. Some facilities may also offer ways to participate in detox treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. At times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Oakdale is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious drawback is that people are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
