Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Glenmont, NY.

If a person is getting outpatient detox they travel to the center helping them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to keep a normal work or school schedule. Some facilities also provide options to receive detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

An average time people remain in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detox treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Glenmont is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
