Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Thorndike, MA.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the center helping them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a regular school or work routine. Some facilities may also offer options to participate in detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

An average amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is about a week. A number of facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detox treatement. At times when medications are necessary to avert deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Thorndike is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will then go into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
