Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - River Heights, UT.

If someone is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them through detox daily or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a normal school or work schedule. Certain programs may provide options to get detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

An average time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detoxification services. There are 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, staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in River Heights is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
