Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Michael, IL.

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

An average amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert deadly withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Michael is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very severe drawback is that individuals are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
