Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Coburn, PA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them with their detox daily or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Some facilities may also provide ways to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

An average time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others provide drug free detox services. At times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. 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 Coburn is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
