Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Whittemore, MI.

If a person is getting outpatient detox they must go to the center assisting them with their detoxification daily or at minimum five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must maintain a regular work or school schedule. Certain facilities may offer ways to participate in detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others offer medication free detoxification services. There are times when medications are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Whittemore is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a severe drawback is that people are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
