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

If a person is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them through detoxification every day or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a normal work or school routine. Some facilities also provide ways to receive treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detox treatement. There are times when meds are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Hills is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a serious drawback is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
