Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Grand Lake, CO.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them with their detoxification every day or at least 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a regular school or work routine. Certain facilities also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some facilities use medically assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, staff at the center help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Grand Lake is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
