If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to keep a regular school or work schedule. Certain facilities may provide options to receive treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.
A standard amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detox treatement. At times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and balanced.
While outpatient detox in Herriman is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, clients will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
