What is ambulatory detox?

Ambulatory detoxification, offered by Team Recovery, represents a vital step towards sustainable recovery, designed for those seeking support while maintaining their daily responsibilities. This outpatient program merges medical supervision with psychological assistance, enabling clients to safely navigate withdrawal symptoms without full-time hospitalization.

“It is imperative as a treatment provider that we meet individuals where they are at in their recovery journey and acknowledge that an inpatient setting is not always beneficial for everyone. One of the many highlights of ambulatory detox is that it allows individuals to receive medical support and intervention in a flexible and community-based setting. This approach encourages individuals navigating through the withdrawal process to maintain their daily routines and responsibilities which is often a barrier to individuals receiving treatment.”

Olivia Morrin, Chief Nursing Officer at Team Recovery

The essence of ambulatory detox lies in its holistic approach. Clients undergo a thorough medical evaluation to tailor treatments specifically to their individual needs, ensuring a personalized recovery plan. The integration of medications to ease withdrawal symptoms, alongside continuous medical oversight, ensures safety and comfort during this challenging phase.

Education is a pivotal component of the program, providing clients with crucial insights into the nature of addiction and the recovery process. This knowledge empowers individuals, equipping them with the tools needed for long-term success. Psychological support further enhances this approach, addressing the emotional and mental hurdles that accompany detoxification.

This comprehensive care model not only tackles the immediate physical challenges of withdrawal but also supports the mental and emotional health of clients, paving the way for long-term sobriety and overall well-being. The program’s flexibility allows individuals to receive necessary treatment while continuing with their daily lives, making recovery accessible to more people.

For those in the Toledo area looking to begin their journey toward recovery, Team Recovery’s Ambulatory Detoxification program offers a compassionate, supportive pathway. This service exemplifies the center’s dedication to innovative and inclusive treatment options that address the broad spectrum of challenges faced by individuals with substance use disorders.
