Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Waukegan, IL.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a normal school or work schedule. Certain programs also provide options to receive detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.

An average time people remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detox treatement. At times when meds are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Waukegan is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
