Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - St. Augustine Beach, FL.

If someone is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them with their detoxification every day or at least 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a normal work or school routine. Certain facilities also provide ways to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.

An average time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. A number of programs use medication assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. At times when meds are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in St. Augustine Beach is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
