Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Pocahontas, TN.

If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them with their detox every day or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a normal school or work schedule. Certain programs may provide options to receive treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.

A standard time clients remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. A number of programs use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detox services. At times when medications are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help clients handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Pocahontas is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
