Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Winchester, KY.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center helping them with their detox daily or at least five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a normal work or school routine. Some programs also offer ways to participate in detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is about a week. A number of facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detox treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical 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 detox in Winchester is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that people are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
