Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Lenox, AL.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification every day or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a regular work or school schedule. Certain programs also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard time clients participate in outpatient detox is about 7 days. A number of programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detox services. At times when medications are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, staff at the center help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Lenox is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that individuals are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
