Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Mendota Heights, MN.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them through detoxification every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Some facilities may offer options to receive treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help individuals handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Mendota Heights is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very severe drawback is that people are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people 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.
