If someone is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them through detox daily or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Some programs also offer ways to participate in treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.
An average time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detox 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. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help clients handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and balanced.
While outpatient detoxification in Flint is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a severe disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
