If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the center assisting them through detox every day or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to keep a normal work or school routine. Some facilities may also provide options to receive detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.
An average time individuals participate in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. A number of programs use medication assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Ashland is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very severe drawback is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
