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

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification every day or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a normal work or school schedule. Some programs may also offer ways to participate in detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and prevent relapse.

An average time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, staff at the program help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

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