Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Carson, CA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them with their detox daily or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must keep a normal school or work schedule. Certain facilities may offer options to receive detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and relapse prevention help.

An average amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detox treatement. At times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the facility help individuals handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Carson is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
