Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Independence, CA.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 days a 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. Certain programs also offer options to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Independence is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that individuals are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a full rehabilitation facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
