Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Harbor View, OH.

If a person is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them through detoxification daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a normal work or school schedule. Certain facilities also provide options to get detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. A number of programs use medically assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detoxification services. There are times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Harbor View is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
