If an individual is receiving outpatient detoxification they must go to the center helping them through detoxification every day or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a normal school or work routine. Some programs may provide options to receive treatment in a choice of regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and relapse prevention help.
A standard amount of time people remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others provide drug free detox treatement. At times when meds are necessary to prevent deadly withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and balanced.
While outpatient detox in Presque Isle is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very severe drawback is that individuals are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a comprehensive treatment program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is complete.
