Outpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Tennessee Colony, TX.

If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center assisting them with their detoxification daily or at minimum five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who must maintain a normal work or school routine. Certain facilities also provide options to participate in detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.

A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detox services. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and balanced.

While outpatient detox in Tennessee Colony is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
