If an individual is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them through detox every day or at least 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to keep a regular school or work schedule. Certain facilities also offer options to get detoxification treatment in either 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 seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox services. At times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Benton Harbor is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that people are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
