Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Des Arc, MO.

If a person is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a regular work or school routine. Certain programs may also provide options to receive treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.

A standard time individuals participate in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Des Arc is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
