If someone is getting outpatient detox they must go to the center assisting them with their detox daily or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to maintain a normal work or school schedule. Certain programs may also provide ways to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.
A standard time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others offer medication free detox treatement. There are times when meds are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and balanced.
While outpatient detox in North Fort Myers is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
