Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Melvin, AL.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them through detoxification daily or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who must keep a regular work or school schedule. Some programs also provide options to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard time individuals participate in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detox treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Melvin is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
