Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - New Orleans, LA.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a regular work or school schedule. Some facilities may also offer ways to receive detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. A number of facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. At times when medications are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help clients manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in New Orleans is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
