Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - South Pomfret, VT.

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a regular school or work schedule. Certain programs may provide options to get detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide drug free detox treatement. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in South Pomfret is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
