Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Sherard, MS.

If someone is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them through detox every day or at minimum five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who must maintain a regular work or school schedule. Some programs may also provide options to receive treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time people participate in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer drug free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the facility help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Sherard is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious drawback is that individuals are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
