Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lanark, IL.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a regular school or work schedule. Some facilities also provide options to participate in detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

An average amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, staff at the center help individuals handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Lanark is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious drawback is that individuals are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
