Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Park Ridge, IL.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them through detoxification daily or at least 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a normal school or work schedule. Some programs also provide ways to participate in treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Park Ridge is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a comprehensive treatment program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
