If a person is receiving outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them with their detoxification every day or at minimum five days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to keep a regular work or school schedule. Some facilities may also offer options to participate in treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and try to prevent relapse.
A standard time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately seven days. Some facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide drug free detox services. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and balanced.
While outpatient detoxification in Sandy is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very severe drawback is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
