Though these individuals need support to recover, they do not need round-the-clock or acute care. Such patients are enrolled in a sub-acute detoxification program so that they can receive adequate help to beat an addiction and yet, continue with their day-to-day lives as they prefer.
Multiple detox arrangements are available for an individual struggling with an addiction and their families might opt for programs that are highly restrictive. However, enrolling a person into such a program, might actually increase the risk of a relapse once the treatment is complete.
Therefore, many addiction treatment specialists recommend that people struggling with an addiction should be cared for in an environment which is conducive for their recovery, yet, it should neither hinder their personal freedom nor interfere in their personal space.
In a sub-acute detox setting, a patient is empowered with all the support, medication, therapy, and monitoring they need, but without subjecting them to a rigorous schedule of overpowering psychological or medicinal interventions. They receive care that is suitable to the amount of distress they might be experiencing during the detoxification process.
People requiring sub-acute detox care may receive support in multiple settings like:
Patients receiving sub-acute detoxification might stay onsite in a residential program, however, the program will not limit the patient from being permitted to stroll in the facility campus, attend individual and group therapy sessions, physical activity sessions, art classes, and more. Sometimes, a patient might opt to stay at home during their detox process, yet, they may be required to attend a couple of appointments at the facility during the detox process.
