Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Santa Fe, MO.

If someone is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them through detoxification every day or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a regular work or school schedule. Some facilities may offer ways to participate in detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

An average amount of time people participate in outpatient detox is about 7 days. A number of facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detox services. At times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help clients manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Santa Fe is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
