Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cunningham, KS.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them through detoxification every day or at least 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a regular school or work schedule. Some programs also provide options to receive detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

An average time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detoxification services. At times when medications are necessary to avert deadly withdrawal symptoms, 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 withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Cunningham is more flexible for apparent reasons, a severe disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
