If an individual is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them through detoxification daily or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to keep a regular school or work routine. Some facilities may provide options to receive detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.
An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detox is about a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detoxification services. At times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Glen Oaks is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
