Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Megargel, AL.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them through detoxification daily or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must keep a normal school or work routine. Some programs may offer options to receive detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, staff at the center help clients handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Megargel is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
