Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Gateway, CO.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center assisting them through detoxification daily or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must keep a normal work or school schedule. Certain programs also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

An average time people remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. Some programs use medically assisted detox approaches while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. At times when medications are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Gateway is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
