Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lebanon, KY.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification every day or at least 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work routine. Some programs may also provide options to participate in detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detox is about a week. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer drug free detox treatement. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Lebanon is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
