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

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility assisting them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a normal work or school routine. Some programs also offer options to participate in detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Duncombe is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very severe drawback is that people are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
