Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Truro, MA.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they must go to the center helping them through detoxification every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a normal school or work schedule. Certain facilities may also offer ways to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detoxification services. At times when meds are necessary to avert deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Truro is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
