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

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them through detox every day or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a regular work or school routine. Some facilities may offer options to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. At times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Phoenicia is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
