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

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them through detox every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a regular school or work schedule. Certain programs also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

An average time individuals participate in outpatient detox is about a week. A number of programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detoxification services. At times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, 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 detox in Spencer is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people 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.
