If someone is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them with their detoxification every day or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must keep a regular school or work routine. Certain programs also provide options to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.
A standard time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the program help clients handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and balanced.
While outpatient detox in Casco is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that individuals are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
