Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Minnetonka Beach, MN.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them through detoxification every day or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to maintain a normal work or school schedule. Some programs also provide options to participate in treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. A number of facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide drug free detox treatement. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Minnetonka Beach is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
