Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Waterboro, ME.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification daily or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to keep a normal school or work routine. Certain facilities may provide ways to get detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detox services. At times when meds are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the center help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Waterboro is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
