Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Salem, OH.

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them through detoxification every day or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a normal work or school schedule. Certain programs may provide options to receive detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

A standard time individuals participate in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Salem is more flexible for apparent reasons, a severe disadvantage is that clients are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
