In-Home Alcohol Detox

Detox safely and privately under the care of medical professionals in the comfort of home.

How Long Does It Take to Detox from Alcohol?

Alcohol detox typically lasts about 5 days, but this can vary depending on amount and frequency of the drinking, your age, medical conditions, etc.

This initial detox phase is tough, but it’s crucial for moving forward in recovery. With the right support and care, you can make it through this first step and start building the sober life you want.

Is Alcohol Detox at Home Safe?

Dealing with alcohol dependence is rough–it affects both your body and mind. Over time, heavy drinking causes brain and body changes that make it hard to function normally.

When you stop drinking suddenly, your body has to work hard to get back to balance. Alcohol withdrawal can be unpredictable and can lead to symptoms like confusion, shaking, fever, and even seizures, which are known as delirium tremens (DTs).

This is why it’s crucial to have an experienced detox nurse by your side throughout the process.

How to Safely Detox from Alcohol at Home

Throughout your in-home alcohol detox, your detox nurse will keep a close eye on your vital signs and work closely with our supervising physician to make sure you receive the right medications to help ease withdrawal symptoms.

You won’t be alone.  A private detox nurse will be there to help you through each stage of withdrawal. Our detox nurses are trained professionals who understand exactly how to support you during this process.

Emotional support is just as important during detox. Having someone to talk to and lean on can make a big difference in getting through this process without relapsing. Without that support, it’s easy to turn back to alcohol just to escape the discomfort, which can make things even harder in the long run. Having a compassionate team in place is essential to making it through and moving toward lasting recovery.

The Benefits of Alcohol Detox at Home

For many, the fear of judgment and stigma associated with detox and rehab can be a major barrier to seeking help for alcohol abuse. The thought of others finding out can make it hard to take that first step toward recovery.

But with in-home detox, you can leave those worries behind. Detoxing in the comfort of your own home offers privacy, comfort, and personalized care. Here’s how it can help you:

Complete Privacy and Discretion

Detoxing at home means you don’t have to worry about anyone knowing what you’re going through. You can go through the process of alcohol withdrawal privately, without the fear of exposing personal details or entering a public facility.

Reduced Stress and Anxiety

When you’re at home, surrounded by familiar things and in a space where you feel safe, the anxiety that often comes with a clinical environment fades away. You’ll feel more relaxed, which can make the detox process smoother.

Personalized, One-on-One Support

With in-home detox, you’ll have a detox nurse right beside you—monitoring your progress, offering support, and guiding you through each step. It’s a level of care that’s customized to your needs, something that’s often hard to come by in a crowded inpatient detox center.

Taking care of yourself at home allows you to focus entirely on your recovery, free from external pressures or judgment. It’s a personal, compassionate approach to healing.

Holistic Therapies to Support Alcohol Detox

While detoxing, it’s not just about managing physical symptoms—holistic therapies can help you feel more relaxed, reduce stress, and improve your overall mood. These therapies can also support your long-term recovery. With in-home detox, you can have access to treatments such as:

  • IV NAD therapy
  • Acupuncture
  • Massage therapy
  • Yoga
  • Guided meditation

These therapies aren’t just about physical relief; they help bring a sense of calm and well-being during a challenging time.
