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

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification daily or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must maintain a normal school or work schedule. Certain programs may provide ways to participate in detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

An average amount of time people participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. A number of facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. At times when medications are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Hereford is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that individuals are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
