Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Lakewood, OH.

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to maintain a normal work or school schedule. Some programs may also provide ways to participate in treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others offer drug 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 at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Lakewood is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
