Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Winfield, WV.

If a person is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must maintain a normal school or work schedule. Certain programs may also provide options to receive detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. A number of programs use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detox services. There are times when meds 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 center help clients manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Winfield is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that people are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
