Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Alexandria, OH.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a regular school or work schedule. Certain facilities may provide ways to receive treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Alexandria is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. 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 complete.
