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.

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 alcohol, opiates, 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. 

Opiates include: Heroin, Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Percocet, Roxicet, Roxies, Roxy's, Oxy's, Dilaudid, Hydromorphone, Opana, Hydrocodone, Vicodan, 

Oxycodone Home Detox

Oxycodone Home Detox can be managed, in most cases within 7 to 14 days. An Oxy Home Detox is likely to have success with the proper medical supervision by an expert in the Addictions or Drug Dependence field.

Oxycodone is the active opiate ingredient in a slew of drugs marketed for pain management. They include Percocet, Oxycontin, Roxicet and many others. The most common slang names for Oxycodone are Oxy's, Roxies, and Percs.

Withdrawal from Oxycodone, like any other opiate, can be very difficult. The brain of an opiate dependent person gets used to the Oxycodone and does everything in it's power to make the user continue with the drug. Withdrawal from Oxycodone is often compared to having the worst flu of one's life times ten! The body and the mind hurt so much that the user often gives in to continuing the use of Oxycodone or another opiate.

Executive Home Detox provides the supervision for a successful Oxycodone withdrawal. Our treatment program consists of a qualified expert nurse that actually lives with the client and supervises the prescribed medication to decrease the withdrawal symptoms and allow for a steady and relatively comfortable medical detox.

Home De-Talks: Michael Jackson: Woulda Coulda Shoulda

I have been asked countless numbers of times if my Home Detox program, Executive Home Detox, ( www.HomeDetox.biz ) would have helped Michael Jackson and possibly prevented his death. And every time I want to answer YES, but have to answer NO! The basic reason for this is that Michael Jackson did not give any indication that he wanted to be off drugs. A Home Detox program can only assist those that want to get clean or sober.

Could a Home Detox have helped Michael Jackson? Absolutely, a credible clinician working 1:1 with Michael Jackson could have helped him to get off drugs or at least minimize the risk that was all to apparent after his unfortunate death. But this could only happen if Michael wanted to get clean or wanted a reduced risk. Unfortunately, it seems Michael Jackson just wanted to get "out of himself".

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.
