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

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them through detoxification every day or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a regular school or work routine. Certain facilities may offer options to get detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

An average time individuals participate in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detox services. There are times when meds are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Drake is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
