Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Agar, SD.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must maintain a regular work or school routine. Some programs may provide ways to get treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. At times when meds are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Agar is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious drawback is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep 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 detox is finished.
