Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Alligator, MS.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detox daily or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a normal school or work routine. Certain programs may also provide options to receive detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time people participate in outpatient detoxification is about a week. A number of facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, medical 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 detoxification in Alligator is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
