Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Walpole, MA.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center helping them with their detoxification every day or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who must maintain a regular school or work routine. Some facilities also offer options to receive detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detox treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert 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 individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Walpole is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
