Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Sikeston, MO.

If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them through detox daily or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a normal school or work schedule. Some facilities may also provide options to participate in treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox services. At times when meds are needed to prevent 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 safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Sikeston is more flexible for apparent reasons, a severe disadvantage is that people are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
