Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Empire, LA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center assisting them through detoxification every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a regular work or school schedule. Some programs may offer options to participate in treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

An average time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detox treatement. There are 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. Alternatively, staff at the facility help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Empire is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
