Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Merriman, NE.

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the center assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Some programs also provide ways to participate in detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

An average time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about a week. A number of programs use medically assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detox treatement. At times when meds are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Merriman is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will then go into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
