If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them through detox every day or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to keep a normal school or work routine. Certain facilities may also provide options to receive detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.
An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. A number of programs use medically assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Jacksonville is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
