Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Avondale, AZ.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a normal school or work schedule. Some facilities may also provide options to receive treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard time individuals participate in outpatient detox is about a week. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Avondale is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very severe drawback is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
