If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility helping them through detoxification every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detoxification services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a regular school or work routine. Certain facilities may also provide options to participate in detox treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.
An average amount of time clients participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately a week. Some facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are necessary to prevent life threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Alternatively, staff at the center help individuals manage their emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.
While outpatient detoxification in North Branch is more flexible for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that people are at a greater chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, clients will then go into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
