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

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center helping them through detox every day or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a regular work or school routine. Certain facilities may provide ways to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detox treatement. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, medical staff at the center help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Winston is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a full rehabilitation program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
