Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Swansea, SC.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them through detox daily or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must maintain a regular school or work schedule. Certain programs may offer options to receive detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer drug free detox services. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Swansea is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that individuals are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people 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 complete.
