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

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them through detox every day or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a normal school or work routine. Some programs also provide options to receive detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. A number of facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. At times when medications are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Reform is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
