At Home Detox San Diego: A Private At-Home Detox Program
You can start by telling our clinical team what has been happening. We’ll explain detox at home and take you through the arrangements. The physician speaks with you by phone; your nurse brings the prescribed medication and completes an onsite assessment.
During care, your nurse checks symptoms and vital signs, gives medication and helps with personal needs. If getting up or looking after yourself feels difficult, you have someone there to help. The physician directs treatment remotely and remains available to the nurse.
Keep your phone and computer. Choose whether to have family or friends involved. These everyday freedoms are part of receiving care on terms that respect you.
Call today to ask about starting today. We’ll confirm how soon care can begin.

A Private Medical Detox Experience, Delivered at Home in San Diego
For the right candidate, detox at home offers a higher degree of comfort, discretion, and individualized attention than many institutional settings. Rather than navigating facility intake, shared environments, and unnecessary disruption, patients receive focused medical support in a familiar and private space.
Our clinical team provides continuous oversight during withdrawal, including monitoring of blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, tremor, nausea, hydration status, sleep disturbance, and other indicators of withdrawal severity. Detox is supervised by Dr. Jonathan Reitman, who oversees your care and writes the medical orders your nurse follows, allowing for ongoing medical direction, medication adjustments, and escalation planning if needed.
Following detox, Detox Concierge can help coordinate next-step care, including outpatient treatment, therapy, sober support, or referral to a higher level of medical care when appropriate.
