Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Oto, IA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them with their detox daily or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to maintain a regular school or work routine. Certain facilities may provide ways to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time people participate in outpatient detox is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detox treatement. 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. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Oto is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
