If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a regular school or work routine. Certain programs may also provide options to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and prevent relapse.
An average amount of time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detox treatement. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in New Haven is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious drawback is that people are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
