Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Sterling, VA.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the center assisting them with their detox daily or at least 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a normal work or school routine. Certain programs may also provide options to participate in treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, staff at the center help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Sterling is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
