Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Homer, MI.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them through detox daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who must keep a regular school or work schedule. Some programs also offer ways to participate in detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about 7 days. A number of programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Homer is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will then go into a comprehensive treatment program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
