Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Morris, MN.

If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them through detoxification every day or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a normal work or school schedule. Some facilities may also provide ways to participate in detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.

A standard time individuals participate in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. At times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.

While outpatient detoxification in Morris is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
