Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Norman, OK.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them through detoxification every day or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox 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 programs may also offer ways to get detox treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

An average time individuals remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others offer drug free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Norman is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that people are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
