Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Pacific, WA.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center helping them through detoxification daily or at minimum 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a normal school or work schedule. Some facilities may provide ways to receive detox treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detox treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the center help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Pacific is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
