Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Newton Highlands, MA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detox daily or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to keep a regular school or work schedule. Certain programs may also provide ways to receive detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

A standard amount of time people participate in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detox approaches while others provide drug free detox services. At times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Newton Highlands is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
