Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Greenbush, ME.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must keep a normal work or school schedule. Certain programs also provide options to participate in detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others offer drug free detoxification services. At times when meds are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Greenbush is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will then go into a full rehabilitation program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
