Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Thor, IA.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them through detox daily or at least five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who must maintain a regular school or work schedule. Certain programs also offer options to participate in detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detoxification services. At times when meds are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Thor is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very severe drawback is that individuals are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
