Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Wendell, MA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them with their detox every day or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to maintain a normal school or work routine. Some programs may provide options to receive detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. A number of facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide drug free detox services. There are times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Wendell is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that individuals are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
