Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Lincoln, NH.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them through detox every day or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to keep a normal work or school schedule. Certain programs may provide options to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. A number of programs use medically assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when medications are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the center help individuals handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Lincoln is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a severe drawback is that people are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a full rehabilitation facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
