Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Portsmouth, IA.

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the center assisting them through detox daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a normal work or school routine. Some programs also offer options to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer drug free detox treatement. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Portsmouth is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that people are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
