Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Briar, MO.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Some facilities may provide ways to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox services. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Briar is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very severe drawback is that people are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
