Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Keene Valley, NY.

If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them with their detox every day or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a regular work or school routine. Certain facilities also provide options to participate in treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detox services. There are times when medications are needed to avert deadly withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Keene Valley is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
