Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Duncan, MS.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center helping them with their detoxification daily or at minimum 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a regular work or school schedule. Some facilities may also offer ways to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about a week. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detox services. At times when meds are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Duncan is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that individuals are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
