Welcome to Home De-Talks, a site about Home Detox

Welcome to my blog. This blog will be related to the use or potential use of Home Detox for the acute treatment of withdrawal from Alcohol, Opiates, and/or benzodiazepines. It may be serious, it may be humorous, it may be informative or it may be very boring, nonetheless... it will be. I will often refer to my website www.HomeDetox.biz where you can find out a little more about what I do.



Home Detox has been around for many many years. Long before the accepted use of inpatient programs specializing in medical detoxification, the only way a person could detox was @ home or in a medical hospital. With this specialization, the concept of Home Detox has changed.



Many physicians or other prescribers (NP's) will not even consider the idea of a Home Detox for Alcohol or Opiates (Heroin, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Vicodin...), or Benzodiazepines because they are not familiar with the protocol or have no idea what to expect, therefore they want the client in a safe setting that they don't even have to think about.



Home Detox can be accomplished supervised or unsupervised. I don't recommend an unsupervised Home Detox in any way shape or form. Many clients I have spoken to and worked with have tried an unsupervised medical Home Detox and have gotten into trouble.



A supervised Home Detox is much more preferable. The supervision may be achieved through a partnership with the prescriber and a responsible caregiver at home (spouse, relative, good friend, significant other). This may be adequate with an uncomplicated medical detox and if a good trusting relationship exists all around.



A supervised Home Detox with a health care giver is even more preferable. This is what Executive Home Detox (www.HomeDetox.biz) provides. Additional Home Detox providers exist as well. Some Home Detox providers may visit once or twice a day. Some Home Detox providers use nurses and/or home health aides.



Executive Home Detox is the only treatment program I am aware of that provides a qualified expert nurse that actually lives in the client's home for as long as the medical detoxification requires. This creates an unparallelled level of safety and continuity in the Home Detox arena.
