Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Iron River, MI.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detox daily or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are 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 provide options to receive treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard time clients remain in outpatient detox is about a week. A number of facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. At times when medications are needed to prevent 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 center help people handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Iron River is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
