Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Shannon, MS.

If someone is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility assisting them with their detox every day or at least 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to keep a regular school or work schedule. Certain facilities also offer options to participate in detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

An average amount of time people participate in outpatient detox is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer drug free detox treatement. At times when meds are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Shannon is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that individuals are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
