Over 17% of Californians had a substance use disorder in 2022. That’s over 6.5 million people, which is more than the population of Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Jose combined.
Based on statistics alone, you likely know someone with a substance use disorder. You may be reading this page with them in mind.
Maybe the person in your life with a substance use disorder is you.
No matter what has brought you here, help is available at BNI Clinics. The first step in the process of addiction recovery is commonly a detox program. The outpatient detox we offer may be the perfect place for you to start.
What We Treat: Drug and Alcohol Addiction
Our outpatient detox is an option for you no matter your substance of choice. Whether it’s opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, or something else – BNI Clinics is here for you.
Individuals in search of a detox program usually share the same major concerns:
- Painful withdrawal symptoms. Our outpatient detox provides relief from withdrawal through medications and clinical oversight without staying at a treatment center full-time.
- Intense cravings. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) provided in our outpatient detox program helps to ease cravings so you can focus fully on recovery.
- Health consequences. Experiencing withdrawal alone, especially when benzodiazepines and alcohol are involved, can be dangerous, but a medical emergency is rare. Our clinicians perform a complete biopsychosocial assessment, including your health history, to determine if ambulatory detox is right for you. BNI Clinics ensures you’re in close contact with a doctor during the process, should any complications arise.
How We Treat: What to Expect From Outpatient Detox at BNI Clinics
When you first come to BNI Clinics, we’ll perform a detailed evaluation. This ensures we fully understand your concerns and condition so we can provide you with the best possible care. Once we confirm outpatient detox will be safe and helpful, we’ll work together to build an individualized treatment plan.
What outpatient detox at BNI Clinics looks like varies from person to person. Everyone has their own unique needs, and treatment is fully customized to suit you. No matter your outpatient detox plan, you will check in with one of our expert physicians daily, and you won’t need to stay in our facility overnight. You’ll receive the same relief from withdrawal and cravings without drastically altering your regular routine.
The First Step, Done Differently: What Is Outpatient Detox?
Outpatient detox is similar to more traditional inpatient detox, but you’ll recover at home instead of in a facility. You’ll still maintain close contact with medical staff and receive medication to manage withdrawal symptoms when necessary. It will still set you up for the next stages of your recovery.
BNI’s Unique Estimated Outpatient Detox Timeline
Detox timelines, just like treatment plans with BNI Clinics, vary based on each individual and the substance they’re detoxing from. We’ll assess your situation as you progress through the process. Typically, outpatient detox will end once your withdrawal subsides, and that can look very different from person to person.
Treatment Options After Outpatient Detox
Outpatient detox is just the first step on the road to recovery. Once you’ve detoxed successfully, we recommend continued therapy. You’ll learn how to identify triggers, how to cope with them in healthy ways that don’t involve substances, and how to address the psychological roots of your substance use disorder. We offer cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy, both in individual and group settings. Family therapy is also a helpful option. We also manage medication, whether it’s psychiatric medication or you’re continuing MAT.
For both adolescents and adults managing substance use disorders who need more intensive treatment, we work closely with BNI Treatment Centers. They provide residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs for teens with behavioral health conditions of all kinds.
How to Know if BNI’s Outpatient Detox Is Right for You
If substances are taking a toll on your life and you feel like you can’t stop using them despite the consequences, it’s time to consider getting treatment. A detox program is the starting point.
Outpatient detox is best suited to individuals whose withdrawal symptoms aren’t incredibly severe, and who have safe, supportive home environments to return to every day. Because you’ll be traveling to and from our practice frequently, it’s also important to have adequate transportation.
Outpatient detox is more affordable compared to inpatient medical detox programs. It’s also a good option if you have responsibilities you can’t take time away from for an inpatient program, such as work, school, or family obligations. BNI Clinics’ outpatient detox allows you to receive expert-level care without entirely removing you from your normal life.
