Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Glenwood Landing, NY.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the center assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must keep a regular school or work routine. Some facilities also offer ways to get treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

An average time clients remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detox approaches while others offer drug free detox treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Glenwood Landing is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that individuals are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
