Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - New Bedford, MA.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center assisting them with their detoxification every day or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a regular work or school schedule. Certain programs may also provide options to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer drug free detoxification treatement. At times when meds are necessary to avert deadly withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in New Bedford is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
