If an individual is getting outpatient detox they travel to the center helping them with their detoxification every day or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a regular work or school schedule. Certain programs may offer options to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.
An average amount of time people participate in outpatient detoxification is about a week. Some facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detoxification services. At 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 people manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Atlantic City is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
