Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Craig, CO.

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification daily or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work routine. Some facilities also offer options to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. A number of programs use medically assisted detox approaches while others offer drug free detox treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Craig is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals 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 log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
