If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the center helping them through detox daily or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to keep a normal school or work schedule. Certain programs also offer ways to receive treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.
An average amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detox treatement. At times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help clients manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Des Moines is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
