Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Battle Lake, MN.

If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detox daily or at least 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who must keep a normal work or school schedule. Some programs may also provide options to receive treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Battle Lake is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. 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.
