If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center assisting them through detoxification every day or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a regular work or school schedule. Some programs may also provide options to participate in detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.
An average time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to avert deadly withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Buffalo is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will then go into a comprehensive treatment program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
