Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Washington, NH.

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them through detoxification daily or at minimum five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to maintain a normal work or school schedule. Certain programs may also provide ways to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time people participate in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detox services. At times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, staff at the center help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Washington is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a very serious drawback is that individuals 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 full rehabilitation program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
