Alcohol and Opiate Home Detox

Executive Home Detox is an addiction treatment program with a unique treatment model. EHD delivers the most private supervised medical detox possible. A Certified Addictions Registered Nurse (CARN), expert in addictions and detox, manages the alcohol detox or opiate detox from beginning to end. This qualified and expert nurse remains with the client 24 hours a day for as long as the medical detox requires. We actually live with our clients and are available every minute of every day to intervene with the client, to make the client comfortable, and to provide direction and education to the client and family about alcoholism, addiction and recovery.
Alcohol home detox and opiate home detox are the most frequent medical detoxifications EHD provides. EHD has assisted with benzodiazepine, barbiturate, and Zolpidem (Ambien) detoxes as well.
EHD always works with a qualified physician and strongly encourages the client to accept the help of multiple team members to sustain their sobriety after the medical detox. These team members include physician specialists, therapists, group leaders, and sober companions when indicated.

The use of Benzodiazepines in the medical detox process

The use of benzodiazepines in the medical detox process can assist with withdrawal symptoms and can make a person experiencing medical detox more comfortably however, due to possible adverse consequences, the use of benzodiazepines should be monitored by a medical professional. 

Alcohol dependence or withdrawal often require the use of a benzodiazepine or barbiturate to safely alleviate the dependency or withdrawal symptoms. 

Opiate withdrawal can be very uncomfortable and the judicious use of benzodiazepines may allow the person going through opiate withdrawals to tolerate the symptoms long enough for a buprenorphine induction or long enough for a full 4-5 day medical detox. 

Benzodiazepines have to be used judiciously and supervised by a knowledgeable professional because of their own possible negative consequences. Benzodiazepine use can result in addiction and dependency, it can cause respiratory depression, and it can cause confusion, delirium, and psycho-motor impairments. 

Executive Home Detox is skilled with the use of benzodiazepines. EHD uses benzodiazepines, under a physician's supervision, for the medical detox of alcohol and often uses benzodiazepines as a comfort medication for opiate detox.

Home Detox: What is Home Detox?

A Home Detox is the process of going through a medical detoxification while remaining in the home. The medical detoxification is necessary because of physical dependence on a substance such as alcoholopiates, or benzodiazepines. The person in need of the detox is physically dependent on these substances and may be addicted as well. 

A medical Home Detox can have serious consequences and should only be attempted with medical supervision. A physician can assess the client to determine what medication and / or safeguards need to be in place. A responsible person should be available to stay with the person who is in the midst of a medical detoxification. Ideally a medical professional will check on the person daily, or, in the case of Executive Home Detox, an expert nurse will stay with the client 24/7 and supervise the medical detox while the person is in the comfort of their own home. 

An Alcohol Detox at home may take anywhere from a couple days to 6 days depending on the length of time and amount of alcohol the person has been consuming. An opiate detox at home may take anywere from seven days to fourteen days depending on the desired comfort of the medical detoxification. 

Executive Home Detox is a unique treatment model that delivers the medical detox care to the home. The nurse stays with the client 24/7 and focuses on safety and comfort.
