Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Westerly, RI.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to keep a regular school or work schedule. Some programs also provide ways to receive treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide drug free detoxification services. There are times when meds are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Westerly is more flexible for apparent 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 and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
