If someone is getting outpatient detox they must go to the center assisting them with their detoxification every day or at least 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who needs to keep a normal work or school routine. Certain programs may also offer options to participate in detoxification treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.
A standard time individuals participate in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. Some programs use medically assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Elkton is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious disadvantage is that people are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people 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 complete.
