Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Standard, IL.

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them through detoxification daily or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a regular work or school schedule. Some programs may also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. At times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Standard is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a comprehensive treatment program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
