Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Ripton, VT.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them with their detoxification every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a regular work or school routine. Certain programs also offer options to participate in treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when medications are necessary to avert deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Ripton is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
