If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detox every day or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a normal school or work schedule. Certain facilities also offer ways to receive detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.
An average time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox services. At times when medications are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and balanced.
While outpatient detoxification in Framingham is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that individuals are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
