Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Pocahontas, IA.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a regular school or work schedule. Certain programs may also offer options to participate in treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification 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 at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Pocahontas is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
