Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Fife Lake, MI.

If someone is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them with their detoxification daily or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who must keep a normal work or school routine. Some facilities may provide options to receive detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others provide drug free detox services. There are times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Fife Lake is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that individuals are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
