Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Edgar Springs, MO.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a normal work or school routine. Certain programs may provide ways to participate in detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detoxification services. At times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Edgar Springs is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a very severe drawback is that clients are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
