Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Marathon, WI.

If a person is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to keep a normal work or school schedule. Certain programs may also offer ways to receive detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detox treatement. At times when meds are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Marathon is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
