Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Okeechobee, FL.

If someone is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them through detox daily or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must keep a regular school or work routine. Certain programs may also provide options to receive detox treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some programs use medically assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Okeechobee is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that people are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
