Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Pomfret Center, CT.

If a person is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them with their detoxification daily or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a normal work or school schedule. Certain facilities may also provide ways to receive detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others offer medication free detoxification services. At times when meds are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.

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