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

If a person is getting outpatient detox they travel to the center assisting them with their detox every day or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Certain programs may also offer options to receive detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Thaxton is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a comprehensive treatment program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
