Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Mount Pleasant, OH.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them through detoxification daily or at least 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to keep a normal work or school routine. Some programs also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

An average amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detox treatement. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Mount Pleasant is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
