This blog will focus primarily on Alcohol Home Detox. This is primarily what I do, myself and a number of highly skilled associates. We travel to the client and provide private duty nursing services to assist in the medical detoxification of alcohol in the home. We actually live with our clients for the duration of the detox and sometimes a bit longer so we can set up a good aftercare plan. We also detox clients from other substances. Alcohol detox accounts for about 60% of our clients, Opiate detox accounts for about 35 %, and benzodiazepine accounts for the rest. Our company is called Executive Home Detox.
We see a full range of severity. Mild to moderate to severe. We encourage severe alcohol detox clients to consider inpatient treatment, however if they refuse we will consider starting a detox to reduce their risk to their life.
I hope you can find hope and maybe a little knowledge by reading this blog.
Thank you,
