If a person is getting outpatient detoxification they travel to the facility assisting them with their detox every day or at minimum 5 days a week in most situations. Outpatient detox services are either done in the evening or daytime, which makes it perfect for a person who needs to maintain a normal school or work schedule. Certain programs may also provide options to get treatment in either normal outpatient or outpatient day treatment, to improve detox services and prevent relapse.
An average amount of time individuals remain in outpatient detox is approximately 7 days. Some programs use medically assisted detoxification methods while others provide drug free detoxification services. There are times when meds are needed to prevent deadly withdrawal problems, like with alcohol and benzodiazepine medications where seizures are sometimes an issue. Otherwise, medical staff at the program help individuals handle their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal and cravings until they are detoxed and stabilized.
While outpatient detox in Waukesha is more adaptable for obvious reasons, a very serious disadvantage is that individuals are at a higher chance of falling back into addiction due to the access they keep to drugs. Ideally, people will transition into a comprehensive treatment program to address the causes of their addiction once outpatient or inpatient detoxification is finished.
