Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Andover, NY.

If someone is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them through detox every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal work or school routine. Some facilities may offer ways to receive detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

An average time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detox services. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Andover is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
