Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Gardena, CA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them through detox daily or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to maintain a normal work or school routine. Certain programs may also provide options to receive detox treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others provide 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 at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the center help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

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