Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Chester, ID.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them with their detoxification daily or at least 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 maintain a normal school or work schedule. Some programs may also offer ways to get detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

An average amount of time people participate in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detox services. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Chester is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
