Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Minidoka, ID.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a regular school or work schedule. Some facilities may provide ways to participate in detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about 7 days. A number of programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Minidoka is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will then go into a comprehensive treatment program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
