Initial consultation & assessment
You’ll start the detox process by speaking with a trained counselor. This medical professional will ask lots of questions about your drinking habits, medical history, current symptoms, and mental health. Answering these questions with the utmost honesty is paramount to getting the help you need. The counselor will use your answers to design a custom treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals (e.g., managing withdrawal symptoms, preventing relapse, improving sleep, supporting long-term recovery).
Creating a customized detox plan
Your personalized detox plan will include medication management, symptom monitoring, nutritional support, and mental health counseling. It will involve a soft tapering approach to stop your alcohol use. This lets the body slowly adjust itself to not having alcohol anymore and reduces severe withdrawal symptoms.
Elite Home Detox always considers your medical history and current lifestyle when creating a detox plan just for you. Those who detox at home without a customized plan are more likely to experience seizures, dangerous spikes in blood pressure, and uncontrolled hallucinations.
In-home nurse visits and medical oversight
One of the best things about in-home alcohol detox is the 24/7 medical monitoring you receive. An in-home detox nurse in Washington will closely supervise your vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate) as you progress through your withdrawal. If at any time you start to show signs of distress, the nurse will use immediate medical intervention to stabilize your condition. For example, if you start to have a seizure, the nurse will administer medication and take emergency measures. All of our nurses have strong experience with medication management, implementing strict detox protocols, tracking the client’s progress, and responding to medical emergencies.
Aftercare planning and referrals
Stopping your use of alcohol is the first step toward a better life. But once the detox is over, you’ll need ongoing support to stay sober and avoid relapsing. This is why we include aftercare planning and referrals in our at-home alcohol withdrawal treatment. We’ll connect you with a variety of local recovery resources so that you can build a sober lifestyle. If you have any mental health concerns, we’ll refer you to licensed therapists or specialized treatment programs.
