Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Frankford, MO.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the center assisting them with their detoxification daily or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a normal work or school routine. Certain programs may also provide ways to participate in detox treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detox services. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help clients manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Frankford is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a comprehensive treatment program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
