Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Alto, GA.

If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them through detoxification daily or at least 5 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 normal school or work schedule. Certain programs may provide options to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox services. At times when medications are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Alto is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a serious drawback is that people are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
