If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they must go to the center assisting them through detox every day or at least five days a week in most cases. Outpatient detoxification is either delivered in the daytime or evening, which makes it ideal for a person who needs to keep a normal work or school schedule. Some programs also offer options to receive detoxification treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to augment detox services and help prevent a relapse.
An average time people remain in outpatient detox is approximately seven days. A number of facilities use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detox treatement. At times when meds are needed to avert life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the facility help people handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of cravings and withdrawal until they are safely detoxed and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Memphis is more flexible for obvious reasons, a serious drawback is that clients are at a higher chance of relapse due to the access they keep to drugs and alcohol. Ideally, individuals will transition into a full rehabilitation facility to deal with the reasons for their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is complete.
