If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them through detox daily or at least 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a normal school or work routine. Some facilities may offer options to get detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and help prevent a relapse.
An average time clients participate in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detoxification services. There are times when medications are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detoxification in Bellingham is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that individuals are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a full rehabilitation program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
