Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Natchitoches, LA.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they travel to the center helping them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a regular work or school routine. Some programs may also provide options to get treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

A standard time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Natchitoches is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
