Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Northfield, MA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them through detoxification daily or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a regular work or school routine. Some facilities may provide ways to receive detox treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and relapse prevention help.

A standard time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Northfield is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
