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

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification daily or at minimum five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a normal work or school schedule. Some programs may also provide ways to participate in treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

A standard amount of time people participate in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detox services. At times when meds are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Temple is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
