If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them through detoxification daily or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a regular work or school routine. Some programs may provide ways to receive detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.
A standard time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detoxification services. At times when medications are needed to avert deadly 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 stabilized.
While outpatient detox in East Providence is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
