Ambulatory Detoxification offers a safe, outpatient approach to medically manage withdrawal from drugs and/or alcohol. It focuses on addressing the immediate and potentially dangerous physical effects of stopping use. However, detox alone does not treat the underlying psychological, social, or behavioral aspects of addiction. To support long-term recovery, individuals should follow detox with a formal assessment and ongoing addiction treatment.

Ambulatory detox allows flexibility for people to meet their work, school, or family responsibilities. For many, continuing with their daily schedule provides stability as they receive detox treatment.

How does the detoxification process work?

Intake: The intake process includes evaluation, diagnosis, and assessment of treatment needs. This may include laboratory testing or a physical exam.

Observation: The clinical team monitors the client’s course of withdrawal to observe symptoms and ensure safety.

Medication Services: A physician will determine any necessary medication interventions and administer medication while assessing any possible side effects.

Treatment Program: After a client is safely detoxed from all substances, they are encouraged to start individual counseling or enroll in our SUD IOP that can address addiction, coping skills and symptom management.
