If an individual is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them through detoxification every day or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a normal school or work routine. Certain programs may provide ways to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and prevent relapse.
A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others offer drug free detox treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to avert deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Menlo Park is more flexible for apparent reasons, a severe disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
