Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Spirit Lake, IA.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center assisting them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to keep a regular work or school schedule. Some programs may offer ways to receive detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detox services. There are times when meds are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the center help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Spirit Lake is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that people are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
