Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Westcliffe, CO.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the center helping them with their detox daily or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a normal work or school schedule. Some programs also provide options to get detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detoxification services. At times when meds are necessary to avert deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Westcliffe is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious drawback is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
