If an individual is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility assisting them through detox every day or at least five days per week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification services are either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for someone who must maintain a normal school or work routine. Some programs may also provide options to participate in treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and try to prevent relapse.
An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detox methods while others offer medication free detox services. At times when medications are needed to avert life threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, staff at the center help clients handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.
While outpatient detoxification in St. Rosa is more adaptable for apparent reasons, a very serious drawback is that people are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, people will transition into a log-term or short-term recovery facility to address the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detox is finished.
