Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Woodlyn, PA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them with their detoxification every day or at least five days a 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 normal work or school schedule. Some programs may offer options to get detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detoxification services. There are times when meds are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Woodlyn is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater 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 deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
