If an individual is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to keep a regular work or school schedule. Some programs may offer ways to participate in detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.
An average amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is about a week. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detox treatement. At times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help people handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Ann Arbor is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
