Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - St. Marie, MT.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center helping them through detox every day or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a normal work or school routine. Some programs may provide options to participate in treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.

A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer drug free detoxification services. 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 sometimes an issue. Alternatively, staff at the program help individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in St. Marie is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and 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 detoxification is finished.
