Home Detoxification & Medication Tapering

Our home detoxification service follows a structured yet flexible approach to ensure both safety and comfort throughout the withdrawal process.

Pre-Detox Consultation

Before beginning, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine if home detoxification is appropriate for your situation. This includes reviewing your medical history, assessing your support system, and discussing your specific needs and concerns.

Preparation Phase

Once deemed appropriate, we'll help you prepare your home environment and support system. This includes setting up a comfortable space, ensuring necessary supplies, and educating both you and your support person about the process.

Critical Phase (Days 1-3)

During the highest risk period of withdrawal, you'll receive intensive support:

• Daily clinical appointments (virtual or in-person)

• 4-6 daily symptom assessments using standardized tools

• 24/7 text availability with rapid response times

• Precise medication adjustments based on your symptoms

• On-demand additional appointments when needed

Acute Phase (Days 4-7)

As peak withdrawal symptoms begin to stabilize:

• Continued daily appointments

• 2-4 daily symptom assessments

• Extended text availability

• Ongoing medication management

• Focus on comfort and stabilization

Tapering Phase (Days 8-10)

After acute withdrawal symptoms have substantially resolved:

• Structured reduction of medications used during earlier phases

• Less frequent but still regular monitoring

• Continued symptom assessment and support

• Adjustment of tapering schedule based on your response

• Focus on preventing post-acute withdrawal complications

Transition Phase

As the medication tapering completes, we'll gradually decrease the frequency of monitoring while ensuring continued comfort and safety. This phase helps you transition to regular ongoing care.

Continuing Care

Following the complete detoxification process, we'll seamlessly transition you to an appropriate ongoing treatment plan, which may include medication management, therapy, and other support services.

Is home detoxification safe?

For appropriate candidates, home detoxification can be both safe and effective. During your initial evaluation, we carefully assess various factors to determine if this approach is suitable for your specific situation. Safety is our primary concern, and we only recommend home detoxification when it's medically appropriate.

How long does the detoxification process take?

The duration varies depending on the substance, usage patterns, and individual factors. Typically, alcohol detoxification ranges from 5-7 days, while opioid detoxification may take 7-10 days. During your consultation, we'll provide a personalized timeline based on your specific situation.

Do I need someone to stay with me during the process?

Yes, having a supportive person present is required for home detoxification. This person should be able to assist with basic needs, help monitor symptoms, and contact emergency services if needed.

What happens if my symptoms become severe?

Your safety is our highest priority. If your symptoms exceed what can be safely managed at home, we'll recommend immediate transition to a higher level of care. We establish clear criteria for this decision during your initial evaluation.

Is this service covered by insurance?

As a premium concierge service, home detoxification is typically not covered by insurance. However, we can provide documentation that you may submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
