If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them through detoxification every day or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a regular school or work schedule. Some facilities also provide ways to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.
A standard time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detox treatement. At times when medications are necessary to avert deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detoxification in Shelby is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very 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, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
