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

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them through detox daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a normal work or school schedule. Some facilities also offer options to receive detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time clients remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. At 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 individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Palmer is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will then go into a full rehabilitation program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
