Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Derwood, MD.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detox every day or at minimum five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a regular work or school schedule. Some programs may provide options to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. At times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help clients manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Derwood is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
