Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Oceanside, NY.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center assisting them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 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 maintain a normal work or school schedule. Some programs also offer ways to receive detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

An average time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Oceanside is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that individuals are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
