If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the center assisting them with their detox daily or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must keep a regular work or school routine. Certain facilities may offer ways to participate in detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.
A standard amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide drug free detox services. There are times when medications are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in St. Ignace is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that people are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
