Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Auburn, NY.

If someone is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a normal work or school schedule. Some facilities may also provide options to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. A number of programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others offer drug free detox treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Auburn is more adaptable 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 drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
