Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Equality, IL.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them through detoxification daily or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a regular school or work routine. Some facilities may provide ways to participate in detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about a week. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detox treatement. At times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help clients handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Equality is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a severe disadvantage is that clients are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
