Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Elberton, GA.

If someone is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification daily or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work routine. Certain programs also provide options to participate in detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detoxification services. At times when meds are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Elberton is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that people are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
