If an individual is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them with their detoxification every day or at minimum five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a normal work or school schedule. Some facilities may also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.
A standard time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detox treatement. There are times when meds are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Alternatively, medical staff at the center help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.
While outpatient detoxification in Swanzey is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very severe disadvantage is that people are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a comprehensive treatment program to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
