Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Glenn, CA.

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification daily or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a regular work or school schedule. Certain programs may offer ways to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detox is about 7 days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others offer medication free detox services. There are times when medications are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Glenn is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
