If someone is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility helping them with their detoxification daily or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who must maintain a normal work or school routine. Some programs also provide ways to get detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.
A standard amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detoxification services. At times when medications are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes a problem. Otherwise, medical staff at the center help clients handle their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Holyoke is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that people are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will transition into a comprehensive treatment facility to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
