Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ponchatoula, LA.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them through detoxification daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are 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 may offer options to get detox treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

An average amount of time clients participate in outpatient detox is about a week. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detoxification services. At times when medications are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help people handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Ponchatoula is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that individuals are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
