Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lehighton, PA.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the center helping them through detox daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a regular work or school routine. Some facilities also offer ways to participate in treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. At times when meds are necessary to avert deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, staff at the facility help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Lehighton is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
