Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Amity, MO.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them through detoxification every day or at least five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a regular school or work routine. Some facilities may also provide options to receive detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. Some facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. At times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Amity is more flexible for apparent reasons, a severe disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
