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

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center assisting them with their detoxification daily or at minimum 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a regular work or school schedule. Some facilities may provide options to participate in treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

An average time people participate in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detoxification services. At times when medications are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help people handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Aurora is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious 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, individuals will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
