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

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them with their detox every day or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal work or school routine. Certain facilities may also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, staff at the program help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Overland is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
