Risk Reduction

Sean, a Wall Street executive, contacted Executive Home Detox. He wanted to get off Oxy's - Oxycontin, but didn't want to stop drinking alcohol... could Executive Home Detox do that? Sean was grateful to hear that EHD would work individually with him to reduce his overall risk related to substance use.

Sean agreed to a medically supervised Oxycodone / Oxycontin detox. He also agreed to abstain from drinking during the medical detox to avoid medication and alcohol related issues.  Sean was able to eliminate his opiate use over the next seven days. He is now opiate free and he is following a plan to "control" his drinking. Sean is is daily touch with a clinician from EHD.

Risk reduction is a treatment concept that recognizes the decrease or elimination of one substance will enhance the overall health of a client. The continued use of an abusable substance is a risk accepted by the client. In this case, Sean agrees to monitor his alcohol intake and share this information with a clinician. He is aware he may need to address his alcohol intake if it gets out of control.

Executive Home Detox prefers to address all drug dependencies at the same time, but is willing to work with a client who wants to reduce their overall risk by addressing one substance at a time.

EHD is a private pay treatment alternative for clients who prefer privacy and/ or convenience. A certified addictions registered nurse travels to the client and lives with the client 24/7 for the duration of a medical detox.
