Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Phenix City, AL.

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them through detoxification every day or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal work or school routine. Some facilities may also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. A number of programs use medically assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox treatement. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help clients manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Phenix City is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
