If a person is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the center helping them through detox daily or at minimum five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a normal work or school schedule. Some programs may provide options to get detoxification treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.
An average time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detox treatement. At times when medications are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Port Angeles is more flexible for apparent reasons, a serious drawback is that individuals are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
