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

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the center helping them through detox every day or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a regular school or work schedule. Some facilities also offer ways to get treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time clients participate in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detox services. There are times when medications are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Plaquemine is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that people are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
