Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Mars Hill, ME.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center assisting them with their detox daily or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a regular work or school schedule. Certain facilities may also offer ways to receive treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the center help individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Mars Hill is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and 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 complete.
