If a person is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping 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 ideal for someone who must maintain a regular work or school schedule. Some facilities may also provide ways to get treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.
An average time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. A number of programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. At times when meds are necessary to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case 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 detoxed and balanced.
While outpatient detoxification in Aspen is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
