If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center assisting them through detoxification daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a normal school or work routine. Certain programs may also provide ways to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.
An average amount of time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others provide drug free detox services. At times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, staff at the center help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.
While outpatient detoxification in Portsmouth is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
