Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Alton, AL.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them through detoxification every day or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a regular school or work routine. Certain programs also offer options to get treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard time clients participate in outpatient detox is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. At times when meds are needed to avert deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Alton is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will then go into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
