Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Clinton, NY.

If a person is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detox every day or at least five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a regular work or school schedule. Some programs may offer ways to participate in detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detox services. There are times when medications are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help clients handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Clinton is more flexible for apparent reasons, a severe drawback is that individuals are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a full rehabilitation facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
