Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Summit Lake, WI.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them through detox every day or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must keep a regular school or work schedule. Some programs also offer ways to participate in detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Summit Lake is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
