Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - North Rim, AZ.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detox every day or at minimum five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a regular school or work schedule. Some programs may offer ways to receive treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. A number of facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox treatement. At times when medications are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in North Rim is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will then go into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
