Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Snowmass, CO.

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them through detox every day or at least 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who must maintain a regular school or work schedule. Some programs also offer options to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time clients participate in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detoxification services. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like 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 detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Snowmass is more flexible for apparent reasons, a severe drawback is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
