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

If a person is getting outpatient detox they travel to the center assisting them through detox every day or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Some facilities also provide options to participate in detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

An average amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detox treatement. There are times when meds are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the center help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Ottumwa is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious drawback is that clients are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
