If someone is receiving outpatient detox they travel to the facility assisting them with their detoxification every day or at least five days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the daytime or evening, which makes it perfect for someone who needs to maintain a regular school or work routine. Some facilities may also offer options to receive detox treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detoxification services and relapse prevention help.
A standard amount of time individuals participate in outpatient detoxification is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detox treatement. There are times when medications are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people manage their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are safely detoxed and balanced.
While outpatient detox in Durham is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that people are at a greater chance of relapse due to the access they maintain to drugs. Ideally, individuals will then go into a log-term or short-term recovery program to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
