Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Shelburne Falls, MA.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them through detox every day or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a normal work or school schedule. Certain programs may also provide options to get detox treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detox services. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Shelburne Falls is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
