If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them with their detoxification daily or at least five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a regular work or school schedule. Certain facilities also provide ways to participate in detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and help prevent a relapse.
An average amount of time people participate in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. A number of facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others offer drug free detox services. There are times when medications are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Las Animas is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe disadvantage is that people are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
