Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Como, CO.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must maintain a normal school or work routine. Some facilities may provide options to get detox treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

An average time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detox treatement. There are times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and balanced.

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