Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Kaktovik, AK.

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a regular school or work routine. Some programs may also provide options to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

An average amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, staff at the center help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Kaktovik is more flexible for apparent reasons, a severe drawback is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
