Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Charlotte, VT.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them with their detoxification every day or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a regular work or school schedule. Some programs may provide ways to receive treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. A number of programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detoxification services. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

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