Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Newton, IA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the center assisting them with their detoxification every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a normal school or work schedule. Some programs also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the center help individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Newton is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
