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

If someone is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification every day or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a regular work or school schedule. Certain programs may also provide options to get detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detoxification services. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, staff at the program help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Caulfield is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that people are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
