Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Afton, MN.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detox every day or at least five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a regular school or work routine. Certain programs may offer ways to participate in detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox treatement. At times when meds are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help clients handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

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