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

If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the center assisting them through detoxification every day or at least 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal work or school schedule. Certain facilities also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

An average time people participate in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detox services. There are times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

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