Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Orford, NH.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them through detox every day or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a normal work or school schedule. Certain facilities may also provide ways to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. A number of programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox treatement. At times when meds are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Orford is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
