Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hoonah, AK.

If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a regular work or school routine. Some facilities also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

An average time clients remain in outpatient detox is about a week. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detox services. At times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the center help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Hoonah is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious drawback is that people are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
