    Abstract

    In the past decade, ambulatory medical detoxification for alcohol withdrawal has become increasingly utilized due to pressures to contain cost of treatment and research demonstrating its effectiveness. The research that describes this area spans the last 15 years. This article reviews the available literature on ambulatory detoxification and attempts to summarize and synthesize what is known about this area in order to make ambulatory medical detoxification readily reproducible in clinical practice. Finally, this article concludes with an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of outpatient alcohol detoxification as compared to inpatient treatment.
