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

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

A standard amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detoxification services. At times when meds are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Islip is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that individuals are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
