What is Ambulatory Detox?

Ambulatory detox is a safe, medically supervised outpatient detoxification process that allows individuals to withdraw from substances without needing full hospitalization. 

Our approach combines evidence-based medical care, withdrawal symptom management, and ongoing therapeutic support to help you detox safely while staying connected to everyday life.

Ambulatory Detox vs. Inpatient Care

Unlike inpatient detox, ambulatory detox offers greater flexibility, giving you clinical oversight while allowing you to return home after treatment sessions. This makes it ideal for individuals who need structured support but don’t require 24/7 hospitalization.

Who is Ambulatory Detox For?

Ambulatory detox may be a good fit if you:

  • Have mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms that don’t require around-the-clock monitoring.
  • Have a stable home environment with a supportive person available when needed.
  • Are motivated to complete detox and engage in the next steps of treatment.
  • Need flexibility while still receiving medical and therapeutic detox support.

If you’re not sure if ambulatory detox is right for you, our team will assess your needs and recommend the best level of care. 

We’re here to support you every step of the way.

How Ambulatory Detox Works at Wellness and Recovery

Our medically supervised ambulatory detox program includes:

1. Comprehensive Medical Assessment

Before detox begins, we conduct an in-depth evaluation to create a personalized plan based on your substance use history, withdrawal risks, and overall health needs.

2. Medically Supervised Detox and Withdrawal Management

We also provide multiple benefits and avenues of care while in detox, such as:

  • MAT Support When Appropriate: FDA-approved medications may be used to manage withdrawal symptoms and support early stabilization when clinically indicated.
  • Scheduled Medical Monitoring: Individuals will receive routine check-ins from licensed nurses and our in-house psychiatrist to ensure withdrawal symptoms are managed safely.
  • Symptom Management: Comfort measures and medical interventions help manage nausea, anxiety, insomnia, and discomfort throughout the process.

3. Emotional and Mental Health Support

Detox is both physical and emotional. To support the full healing process, we offer:

  • Guidance, counseling, and referrals for emotional well-being during detox.
  • Support groups and counseling to provide community, accountability, and coping strategies for post-detox recovery.
  • Dual diagnosis support for individuals managing co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, PTSD, or depression.

At Wellness and Recovery, we’re here to help you restore balance—mind, body, and spirit.

4. Transition to Continued Care

Detox is just the first step in recovery. After completing ambulatory detox, individuals will transition into the next level of care based on their needs, such as:

  • Residential programs
  • Partial hospitalization program (PHP)
  • Intensive outpatient program (IOP)
  • MAT for long-term stabilization
  • Peer support and aftercare planning
