Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Merrimack, NH.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center assisting them through detox every day or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a normal work or school schedule. Certain programs may also offer options to receive detox treatment in a choice of regular 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 about seven days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others provide medication 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 at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Merrimack is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
