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

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center helping them through detoxification every day or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a normal school or work routine. Some facilities may also provide options to receive detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

An average time clients participate in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detox services. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Monticello is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
