Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Lawrence, PA.

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them through detox every day or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a normal school or work routine. Certain facilities may also provide options to receive detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help people handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Lawrence is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
