Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Harbert, MI.

If a person is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them with their detoxification daily or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a normal school or work schedule. Certain facilities may offer ways to receive detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. At times when medications are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help clients manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Harbert is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
