Ambulatory Detox

Outpatient Ambulatory Detox with KAV Mental Health & Psychiatry

KAV Mental Health & Psychiatry is proud to offer safe, medically supervised ambulatory detoxification (outpatient detox) to clients in Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and surrounding communities. Our board-certified addiction specialists combine medication management with daily clinical check-ins, therapy, and 24/7 support so you can begin recovery without an overnight hospital stay.

What Is Ambulatory Detox?

Ambulatory detox is a structured, physician-guided program that allows you to withdraw from alcohol, opioids, or other substances while living at home. You visit our clinic—or connect via secure telehealth for certain appointments—one to two times per day for:

  • Medical assessments & vital-sign monitoring
  • FDA-approved withdrawal-management medications (e.g., buprenorphine, naltrexone, gabapentin)
  • Counseling & relapse-prevention skills
  • Emergency on-call support if symptoms intensify

By treating withdrawal symptoms in real time and addressing the psychological roots of addiction, ambulatory detox keeps you comfortable, empowered, and firmly connected to your support network.

How Can an Ambulatory Detox Program Help You?

  • Safer Withdrawal at Home – Continuous medical oversight minimizes complications while you remain in a familiar environment.

  • Flexibility for Work & Family – Morning or evening visits mean you can maintain daily responsibilities.

  • Lower Cost than Inpatient Detox – Receive high-quality care without hospitalization fees.

  • Seamless Transition to Ongoing Treatment – Step directly into our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), or Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for long-term recovery support.

Testimonials

“This place has been a blessing from day one. As a mother of 3, it’s not always the easiest to get away from the kiddos. I love the fact that I don’t have to leave my home to meet with my therapist. The online counseling aspect is really convenient and was honestly the only way for me to get the help I needed. I plan on continuing my monthly sessions because I keep seeing more growth and positive change in myself each time.”

“Depression controlled my life for a very long time, and up until a few months ago I was hopeless of that ever changing. KAV helped me find balance again. They helped me find peace. I rediscovered what being happy feels like. Though I still have bad days, I now have the tools and support systems to get me through them. I finally feel in control of my life again, and for that I am grateful.”

“I started feeling really anxious and depressed after the birth of my first child, which was when one of my close friends told me about KAV. My first visit with the doctor was great. She asked me a lot of questions, was super attentive, and gave me the time to talk through my issues. I could tell that she genuinely cared about trying to help me. We talked about different medication options and she suggested therapy. I was hesitant at first, but I’m really glad I said yes because my counselor has really helped me explore all this new anxiety. It changes every day with a baby, but I do feel like I’m in such a better place now, and so much more available for my daughter.”

“Pain pills took me down a really dark path for many years. I’ve been to rehab several times, but could never stay clean for long after I got out. I thank the doctors and counselors at KAV every day for helping me turn my life around. It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve been sober for 14 months and have the belief in myself that it will stay that way. Most importantly, I can be the father and husband my family needs. Thank you KAV — you all truly saved my life!!!”

“Paying attention for long periods of time has been a struggle for as long as I can remember. It’s made things like school…relationships…holding down a job…etc pretty tough. Prior to coming here I’d heard of ADHD but never really looked into it…but after just a few visits my doctor and counselor helped me better understand it and get it under control. It’s been a really good experience so far…I only wish I would’ve pursued getting help like this sooner.”
