Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Lake Oswego, OR.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them through detox every day or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must maintain a normal school or work routine. Some facilities may also provide options to get detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. A number of facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detoxification services. At times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Lake Oswego is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
