Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Chelsea, IA.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to maintain a normal work or school routine. Certain facilities may also provide ways to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.

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

While outpatient detoxification in Chelsea is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
