Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Toledo, IA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification daily or at least five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to keep a regular school or work routine. Certain programs also offer ways to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

An average time clients remain in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer drug 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, staff at the program help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Toledo is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that people are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
