Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Avondale, CO.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them through detoxification every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a normal work or school schedule. Some facilities may also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time people participate in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detox services. There are 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. Alternatively, staff at the program help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Avondale is more flexible for apparent reasons, a severe disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
