If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them through detox daily or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a normal school or work routine. Some programs may provide options to get detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.
A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. A number of facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the facility help people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and balanced.
While outpatient detox in Boston is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a full rehabilitation program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
