Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Charleston, MS.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Certain programs 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.

A standard amount of time people participate in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. A number of facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detox services. At times when meds are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Charleston is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they keep 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.
