Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hudson, IL.

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

A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detox services. At times when meds are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, staff at the center help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Hudson is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
