Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Chester, VA.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detox daily or at least five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a normal work or school schedule. Some facilities may offer options to receive treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detox services. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Chester is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that individuals are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
