If a person is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility helping them with their detox every day or at minimum five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a normal school or work schedule. Certain facilities also provide options to get treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.
A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Alternatively, staff at the facility help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Pontiac is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
