Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Bruceton, TN.

If someone is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the center helping them through detox every day or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a normal work or school schedule. Some facilities may also offer ways to receive treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and relapse prevention help.

A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification methods while others offer medication free detox services. There are times when medications are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the center help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Bruceton is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
