Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Summit, UT.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them with their detoxification daily or at minimum five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal work or school routine. Some programs may also offer ways to get detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

A standard time clients remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. A number of programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds 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, medical staff at the program help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Summit is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
