Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Wilkes Barre, PA.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center helping them through detoxification daily or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to maintain a regular school or work schedule. Certain facilities may offer ways to participate in treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard time people participate in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when medications are necessary to avert 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 clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Wilkes Barre is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
