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

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them through detox every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a regular work or school routine. Some facilities may provide ways to get detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. At times when meds are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the center help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Dawson is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious drawback is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, individuals 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.
