Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Vandalia, MO.

If an individual is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them through detox daily or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a normal school or work routine. Certain programs may provide options to get detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

An average time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others offer medication 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 sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help individuals handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Vandalia is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will then go into a comprehensive treatment program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
