Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Woodhull, NY.

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a regular school or work routine. Certain facilities may also provide options to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time people remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detox treatement. There are times when meds are needed 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 people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Woodhull is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious drawback is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
