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

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the center assisting them through detox every day or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Some facilities also offer options to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time clients participate in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others offer drug free detox services. At times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help individuals handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Meriden is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that people are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
