Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - San Dimas, CA.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center assisting them with their detox daily or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work routine. Some facilities may also offer options to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer drug free detox services. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in San Dimas is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will then go into a full rehabilitation program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
