If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center assisting them through detoxification daily or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to keep a normal work or school routine. Some facilities may also offer options to participate in detox treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and help prevent a relapse.
A standard time people remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. A number of programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others offer drug free detox treatement. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detoxification in Interlochen is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
