Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Lenexa, KS.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them through detox every day 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 needs to keep a normal school or work schedule. Certain programs may also provide options to get treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

An average time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. A number of programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Lenexa is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
