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

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detox every day or at least five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a regular school or work schedule. Some facilities may also offer ways to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detox approaches while others offer drug free detox services. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Hale is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
