Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Dover, OH.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility assisting them with their detox daily or at minimum five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a normal work or school schedule. Certain programs also provide ways to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

A standard time individuals participate in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detox services. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Dover is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
