Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Cherokee, OK.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them through detoxification every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who must keep a regular school or work schedule. Certain programs also offer options to get detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

An average time people participate in outpatient detox is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Cherokee is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very severe drawback is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
