Outpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Durham, CA.

If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the center helping them through detoxification daily or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who must keep a normal work or school routine. Some facilities also provide ways to receive detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.

A standard amount of time people participate in outpatient detoxification is about 7 days. A number of facilities use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide medication free detox services. There are times when meds are needed to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help clients manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.

While outpatient detox in Durham is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, clients will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
