If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them through detoxification daily or at minimum 5 days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must maintain a normal work or school schedule. Some facilities may also provide options to get treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and help prevent a relapse.
An average time individuals participate in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others provide drug free detox services. At times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and balanced.
While outpatient detoxification in Taunton is more flexible for apparent reasons, a very severe drawback is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
