Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Mount Vernon, MO.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center assisting them through detox daily or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a normal school or work routine. Certain facilities may offer ways to receive detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. A number of facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide drug free detox treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the facility help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Mount Vernon is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that individuals are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
