Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Ambler, AK.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the center helping them with their detoxification daily or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox 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. Some programs also provide ways to receive treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time people participate in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detox 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, medical staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Ambler is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will then go into a full rehabilitation program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
