Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Franklin, AL.

If someone is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them with their detoxification daily or at least five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a normal school or work schedule. Some programs may offer ways to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. At times when medications are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Franklin is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
