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

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them with their detox daily or at minimum five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a normal school or work routine. Certain facilities may also offer ways to get detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

An average time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detoxification 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 an issue. Otherwise, staff at the facility help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Raceland is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will then go into a full rehabilitation program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
