Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Pittsburgh, PA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to keep a normal work or school routine. Some facilities may also offer ways to participate in treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.

An average time clients remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. A number of programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help clients handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Pittsburgh is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
