Ambulatory or Outpatient Detoxification may be an option for individuals with a supportive home environment. An appointment is made with a treatment counselor, medical staff, and a treatment readiness facilitator to discuss expectations, medication, and counseling. The treatment counselor will make a referral for treatment which commences when ambulatory detoxification begins, and will continue upon completion of ambulatory detox. If eligible, a physical exam and the first dosage of medication is scheduled. The individual needs to return daily to receive medications and counseling support for a period of 3 to 5 days. Parent/guardian consent and involvement is required if a minor.
