Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - East Nassau, NY.

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a regular school or work schedule. Some programs may offer ways to get detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time clients remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help clients handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in East Nassau is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
