Does Outpatient Treatment Involve Detox?

Marula Rehab does not provide detox services but refers individuals in need of detox to appropriate inpatient programs. They ensure that participants who require detox have their outpatient admission spot reserved, allowing them to transition seamlessly into outpatient care once they are ready.

 

For individuals experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms, inpatient medical detox is recommended. This process helps manage symptoms such as tremors, sweating, and anxiety, which can be painful or even life-threatening in extreme cases. While some outpatient detox programs exist, those with strong dependencies on substances often achieve better results through inpatient care before transitioning to outpatient rehabilitation.

 

Balancing Recovery with Daily Life

Outpatient rehab allows participants to continue their work, school, and family responsibilities while receiving treatment. However, since detox primarily addresses physical addiction, additional therapy is often necessary to tackle the psychological aspects of substance use disorder. Comprehensive assessments help determine the appropriate level of care for each individual.
