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

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification daily or at minimum five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to keep a regular work or school routine. Some facilities also offer options to get detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

An average time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others offer 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 at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Winona is more flexible for apparent reasons, a severe disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater 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 facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
