Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Dougherty, IA.

If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility assisting them with their detox daily or at least 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a normal work or school schedule. Some facilities may offer options to receive treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average time people remain in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detox treatement. At times when meds are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Dougherty is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that clients are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
