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

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them with their detox daily or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a normal school or work schedule. Certain facilities also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time clients remain in outpatient detox is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detox services. At times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help clients manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Dickinson is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
