Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Lead, SD.

If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them through detoxification daily or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to maintain a regular work or school routine. Certain programs also offer ways to get detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

A standard time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. A number of programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detox services. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Lead is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very severe drawback is that individuals are at a higher chance 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 deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
