If a person is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them through detoxification daily or at least 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a normal school or work schedule. Some programs may offer ways to participate in detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and prevent relapse.
An average amount of time people participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. A number of programs use medically assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. At times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, staff at the program help individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Elmhurst is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater risk of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery program to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
