If an individual is getting outpatient detox they travel to the center assisting them with their detoxification daily or at least 5 days per week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to keep a normal work or school routine. Certain programs may also provide ways to get treatment in either regular outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and try to prevent relapse.
A standard time clients participate in outpatient detox is about 7 days. Some programs use medication assisted detox approaches while others offer medication free detoxification treatement. There are times when meds are needed to prevent life threatening withdrawal problems, as is the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are at times an issue. Alternatively, medical staff at the facility help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are detoxed and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Columbia is more flexible for obvious reasons, a severe drawback is that clients are at a greater risk of falling back into addiction due to the access they maintain to alcohol and drugs. Ideally, individuals will transition into a full rehabilitation program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
