If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them with their detox every day or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must keep a regular school or work schedule. Some programs also provide ways to receive detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and help prevent a relapse.
A standard amount of time clients remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are needed to avert deadly withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and balanced.
While outpatient detoxification in Bellevue is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a comprehensive treatment program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
