Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mechanicsburg, IL.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them through detox every day or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a normal work or school routine. Some facilities also offer options to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

An average time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others offer medication free detox services. At times when medications are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Mechanicsburg is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a full rehabilitation program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
