Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Parkton, MD.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them with their detoxification every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a normal work or school schedule. Some programs also provide ways to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time people participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some facilities use medically assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox treatement. At times when medications are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Parkton is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that individuals are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
