In-Home Detox: What You Should Know

Detoxing at home is a safe and effective alternative to inpatient treatment for those who qualify. Our team provides 24/7 in-home support under the guidance of a licensed physician. You remain in your own space while we help manage symptoms, monitor safety, and support emotional wellbeing.

Preparing for Detox at Home

Creating the right environment can help make detox more comfortable. Simple things like setting up a quiet space, minimizing disruptions, and having healthy snacks and hydration on hand can make a difference. Our team will help prepare the space upon arrival and guide you every step of the way.

Substance-Specific Detox Expectations

  • Alcohol: Symptoms typically begin within 6–12 hours, peak at 24–72 hours, and last around 5–7 days.
  • Opioids (heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone): Symptoms begin 8–24 hours after last use, peak around days 2–3, and resolve within 5–7 days.
  • Benzodiazepines: Symptoms can take 1–4 days to appear, often requiring a longer, tapered approach.
  • Kratom: Often underestimated, symptoms resemble opioid withdrawal and typically peak around day 2–3.

Each detox is tailored to your needs with physician oversight and continuous monitoring.

Supporting a Loved One Through Detox

Your presence can make a powerful difference. Offer calm, nonjudgmental support. Respect boundaries and let the care team handle symptom management. Simply being there—without pressure—can be more meaningful than trying to fix or control the process.
