Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Oak Ridge, MO.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detox daily or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a normal school or work schedule. Some programs also provide ways to get detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detoxification services. There are times when meds are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Oak Ridge is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that clients are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
