If someone is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Certain programs may also offer options to get detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.
An average amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. A number of programs use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer medication free detoxification services. At times when medications are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Elmira is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
