If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center helping them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Some programs may provide ways to participate in detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.
An average time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide medication free detoxification services. There are times when medications are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, staff at the facility help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and balanced.
While outpatient detox in Salem is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
