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

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility assisting them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a regular work or school routine. Some programs may provide options to receive detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard time individuals participate in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detox treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Pitcairn is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
