If someone is getting outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them with their detox daily or at minimum 5 days per week in most cases. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who must keep a regular work or school schedule. Some programs may also offer options to get detox treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.
An average amount of time clients remain in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others offer drug free detoxification services. At times when medications are necessary to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, staff at the center help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and balanced.
While outpatient detox in Eagle River is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very severe drawback is that people are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
