Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Metairie, LA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center helping them through detoxification every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must keep a normal work or school routine. Some programs may provide options to receive treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some facilities use medically assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox treatement. At times when medications are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the center help individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Metairie is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
