Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ashland, WI.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a normal work or school schedule. Certain facilities may also offer ways to receive detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detox services. There are 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, medical staff at the center help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Ashland is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
