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

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification every day or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who must keep a regular school or work routine. Some facilities also offer ways to receive detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others offer drug free detox services. There are times when meds are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case 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 withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Spencer is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
