There are different approaches to treating an Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), including our Alcohol home detox programme. The necessary approach relates to the severity of the addiction, the severity of withdrawal, and individual circumstances.

There are many different ways to approach an alcohol detox. Some people choose to detox from alcohol at home by themselves, however, this can be dangerous. Others choose to attend an in-patient rehab where they stay at the facility during detox. However, there is another option – an outpatient alcohol detox program.

Outpatient care can be useful as it is less disruptive to the person’s daily life. As an outpatient, you are still able to attend work or school and you will still have regular social support from friends and family. As an outpatient of a treatment centre, you will be in regular contact with the treatment centre. You will be under supervision from a supervisor or carer. This option can be very useful for those who are unable to take leave from work, those who live far away from a treatment centre, or those who have dependent family members.
However, like any approach, there are some factors of this method to be mindful of. It is important to consider all factors when choosing a plan for your recovery.

Like any approach to alcohol detox, this method has some potential dangers. In an inpatient facility, you won’t have the opportunity to relapse. As outpatient detox is less-restrictive, this is a concern. However, if you follow the steps provided to you by the treatment centre, this won’t happen. Furthermore, as you are assigned a carer, you will be under supervision. Supervision from a carer will prevent any negative medical complications that could arise. Having constant contact with the treatment centre, discussing cravings as they occur, being in your own home, and taking any medications prescribed to you should result in a successful at-home detox.
