Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Patten, ME.

If a person is getting outpatient detox they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification every day or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a normal school or work routine. Certain programs may also provide options to receive treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

An average time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer drug free detox treatement. At times when medications are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Patten is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that people are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
