Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Forest, LA.

If someone is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them through detox daily or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a normal school or work routine. Some programs also offer ways to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

An average time clients participate in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detox services. At times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Forest is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
