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

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the center assisting them with their detoxification daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a normal work or school routine. Some programs also provide options to participate in detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. At times when medications are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Logan is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
