If someone is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the facility assisting them with their detoxification every day or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a regular school or work schedule. Some facilities may also provide options to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.
A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detoxification services. There are times when meds are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and balanced.
While outpatient detox in Trufant is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
