Benefits of Home Detox

Research has shown that of the individuals identified as needing a supervised alcohol or drug detox, a high number do not need intensive hospitalised clinical monitoring. From the large numbers referred into treatment for detox, only a small percentage require detoxification on an in-patient basis. The remaining percentage can be detoxed safely at home or within other environments provided that the detox is supervised and monitored by suitably trained and qualified staff*. It is well accepted in addictions services that the majority of people requiring a detox are detoxed in their own home.
