Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hamer, ID.

If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them through detoxification every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who must keep a normal work or school routine. Some facilities may also provide options to get detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

An average time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Hamer is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
