Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Shell Knob, MO.

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them through detox daily or at least 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who must keep a regular work or school routine. Certain facilities may also provide options to receive treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. A number of facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detoxification services. At times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Shell Knob is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
