Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Franklin Springs, GA.

If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility assisting them through detox every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a normal school or work schedule. Certain programs also offer ways to participate in detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, staff at the program help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Franklin Springs is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
