Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Hermitage, MO.

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them with their detoxification every day or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Certain programs also offer options to participate in detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide drug free detox services. At times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Hermitage is more flexible for apparent reasons, a severe disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
