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

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them through detox every day or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a normal school or work schedule. Some programs also offer options to receive detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time people participate in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detox treatement. There are times when meds are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Walcott is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
