Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Curlew, IA.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them through detox every day or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a normal school or work schedule. Some facilities also offer options to receive detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detox is about 7 days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detoxification services. At times when medications are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help clients handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Curlew is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that clients are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will then go into a comprehensive treatment program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
