Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - East Elmhurst, NY.

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them through detox every day or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to maintain a regular school or work schedule. Some facilities also provide ways to receive detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. A number of facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others offer drug free detoxification services. At times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and balanced.

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