Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Brooklyn Park, MN.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification every day or at least five days a week in most situations. 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 routine. Certain facilities also provide options to participate in detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

A standard time clients remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detox services. At times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Brooklyn Park is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
