Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Sandpoint, ID.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they must go to the center helping them with their detoxification every day or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a normal work or school routine. Certain programs may provide options to get detox treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and help prevent a relapse.

An average time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide drug free detoxification services. At times when medications are needed to avert deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Sandpoint is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that individuals are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
