Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Orono, ME.

If someone is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them through detoxification every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a normal school or work routine. Some programs also provide options to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. A number of programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide drug free detox treatement. There are times when meds are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, staff at the program help clients manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Orono is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
