If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility assisting them through detox every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a normal work or school routine. Certain programs may also offer ways to get detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.
A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. A number of programs use medication assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detox services. At times when meds are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Bettendorf is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very severe drawback is that people are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a full rehabilitation program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
