If an individual is receiving outpatient detox they must go to the facility assisting them through detoxification daily or at minimum five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification is either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who must keep a regular work or school schedule. Certain facilities may provide ways to receive detoxification treatment in a choice of normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.
A standard amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is about seven days. Some facilities use medically assisted detox methods while others provide medication free detox treatement. At times when medications are necessary to prevent life-threatening withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, staff at the facility help clients manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxified and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in South Portland is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that individuals are at a higher risk 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 detoxification is complete.
