You don’t need a plan worked out before you call. Tell us what is happening. We’ll explain the care and price, help you through intake and arrange the medical consultation by phone. Your nurse collects the prescribed medication and comes to you.
The nurse completes the onsite assessment, including a breath alcohol test, and follows the physician’s orders. During care, the nurse checks symptoms, blood pressure, pulse, breathing, temperature and hydration, then reports changes to the physician.

What Is Alcohol Detox?
Alcohol detox is medical care for withdrawal when you stop or reduce drinking. Symptoms can include shaking, sweating, nausea, anxiety and difficulty sleeping. Some people develop serious complications, including seizures or severe confusion.
We provide prescribed medication, continuous nursing and physician direction through the withdrawal period. Detox is not a cure for alcohol use disorder; further treatment may help after withdrawal ends.
Testimonials
How We Assess Your Alcohol Detox Needs
The physician reviews your health and withdrawal history before deciding whether home care is appropriate. Tell us about:
- How much and how often you drink
- When you last drank and any current symptoms
- Previous withdrawal, seizures or severe confusion
- Medications, other substances and allergies
- Other medical conditions
- Past emergency care
- Where you want treatment
- Your concerns and preferences
A family member does not replace the nurse. Your nurse remains onsite throughout the agreed care.
Our Alcohol Detox Process at Home
We arrange the medical care and explain the steps before treatment begins.
Medical Screening
The physician consults with you by phone about your drinking, health, medications and withdrawal history. Your nurse completes the assessment onsite, including a breath alcohol test.
Personalized Treatment Planning
The physician prescribes treatment based on your circumstances. We discuss the proposed duration and arrange your nurse’s arrival. You can ask questions and discuss your preferences.
Medication and Hydration
Your nurse gives and records the prescribed medication, checks your response and watches for dehydration. Tell the nurse about nausea, vomiting or difficulty keeping fluids down. IV fluids are not routine and may cost extra if ordered.
24/7 Monitoring
Your nurse stays onsite, including overnight, and checks symptoms and vital signs. The physician reviews updates and directs any changes to treatment.
Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms That Require Medical Care
Alcohol withdrawal can become life-threatening. Seek urgent medical help for the symptoms below. Do not wait for a detox appointment.
Call 911 for a seizure, even if it stops. Do not wait to see whether another follows.
Seeing or hearing things that are not there during withdrawal needs emergency care. Call 911.
Call 911 if someone becomes severely confused or disoriented.
High fever during withdrawal needs urgent medical attention, especially with confusion, agitation or a rapid heartbeat.
Call 911 for difficulty breathing or blue or gray lips.
Call 911 for new chest pain or pressure, particularly with trouble breathing, sweating or faintness.
Seek prompt medical attention for repeated vomiting or inability to keep fluids down. Fluid loss can cause dehydration.
Loss of consciousness or a fall with possible injury needs emergency care. Call 911.
A rapid or irregular heartbeat during withdrawal needs urgent medical attention. Call 911 if it comes with chest pain, breathing difficulty or fainting.
Alcohol Withdrawal Timeline During Home Detox
Symptoms can begin within hours of the last drink and often peak during the first one to three days. Timing varies, and severe symptoms can appear later. This is a general guide, not a schedule for stopping alcohol without medical care.
The First Hours
Shaking, sweating, anxiety, nausea or a faster heartbeat may begin. Tell your care team about symptoms and the time of your last drink.
Days 1 to 3
Symptoms are often strongest during this period, and serious complications can occur. Your nurse monitors your condition and keeps the physician informed.
Day 4 and Beyond
Some symptoms may ease, while poor sleep, fatigue or mood changes can continue. Your response guides care; reaching a certain day does not mean treatment is complete.

Ongoing Medical Presence

Responding to Changes
Tell your nurse about new or worsening symptoms. The nurse assesses your condition and contacts the physician for medical direction. Serious symptoms may require hospital care.
Reviewing Your Progress
The physician uses nursing observations and your response to treatment to guide care. Ask about medication, discomfort or anything you do not understand.
Your Privacy and Your Choices
Privacy is central to the in-home detox experience. We treat your medical information as confidential. You choose whether to involve family or friends and whether they receive updates about your care.
After Alcohol Detox
Before leaving, your nurse explains any instructions for your care after detox. If you want help finding further treatment or support, our team can provide referrals or introductions. You decide whether to pursue them. We can also discuss whether to extend your nursing care.
