Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Homer, NY.

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the center assisting them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a normal work or school schedule. Certain programs also offer options to participate in detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some facilities use medically assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detoxification services. At times when meds are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help individuals handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Homer is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
