Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Nunam Iqua, AK.

If someone is getting outpatient detox they must go to the center helping them through detoxification daily or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a regular school or work routine. Certain programs may also provide options to participate in treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. At times when meds are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the facility help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Nunam Iqua is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
