Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Frankford, DE.

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a normal work or school routine. Certain programs may provide options to participate in treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average time people participate in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. A number of programs use medication assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. At times when meds are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Frankford is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
