Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Arnold, MO.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them with their detoxification every day or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a normal work or school schedule. Some facilities also offer options to get detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time people participate in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. At times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Arnold is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that clients are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
