If someone is getting outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detox every day or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to maintain a regular work or school routine. Certain programs may provide ways to participate in detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.
An average time clients remain in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification approaches while others offer drug free detoxification services. There are times when medications are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the facility help individuals manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Glendale is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a serious disadvantage is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
