Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Edison, NJ.

If someone is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them with their detoxification daily or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a regular work or school schedule. Some facilities may offer options to get treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detox treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to avert deadly withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Edison is more flexible for apparent reasons, a severe disadvantage is that people are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
