Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Cherokee, IA.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them through detox daily or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a regular school or work schedule. Some programs also offer ways to get treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. A number of programs use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. At times when medications are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Cherokee is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
