Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Key Largo, FL.

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility assisting them through detoxification every day or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a regular school or work routine. Some facilities also offer ways to participate in detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time people participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help individuals handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Key Largo is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that individuals are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
