If someone is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification every day 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 a person who must keep a normal school or work schedule. Some programs may also offer options to get detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.
An average time people remain in outpatient detox is about seven days. Some programs use medication assisted detoxification approaches while others offer drug 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 sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and balanced.
While outpatient detox in Bakersfield is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a higher risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
