Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Irene, SD.

If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them through detox every day or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a regular work or school schedule. Some programs also provide ways to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer drug free detox services. At times when meds are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and balanced.

While outpatient detoxification in Irene is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious drawback is that individuals are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
