For many people, starting a drug detox journey can seem like a very steep hill to climb. Often, the person will be feeling frightened and daunted at the prospect of experiencing the physical and psychological symptoms of withdrawal.

At Claimont, we provide a private home drug detox service for you or your loved one that is both convenient and discreet, delivering specialist services for recovery without leaving home. Our expertise lies in delivering drug detox at home services that stand as a compassionate alternative to traditional rehab or clinical settings.

Opting for a drug home detox with us means choosing a path that respects your need for privacy and convenience. Our home drug detox programme is designed to integrate seamlessly into your daily life, allowing for a smoother transition away from dependency. By choosing detox for drugs at home, you embrace a supportive environment that significantly contributes to the effectiveness of the detox process.

We are also regulated by the CQC, who ensure the highest standards of care are being met.

Private drug home detox 

Dependency can have a profoundly negative impact on individuals, as well as their friends and family. It revolves around drug use, which causes them to neglect other aspects of life. This can lead to damaged relationships and a decline in social and work life. It’s not uncommon for those suffering to experience physical and psychological health decline. 

Common substances that can cause dependency include: 

  • Benzodiazepines such as diazepam, alprazolam and temazepam 
  • Opiate drugs such as heroin, morphine, codeine and methadone
  • Stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamines
  • Dissociatives such as ketamine 

Despite recognising the harm caused by drug dependency, individuals will often find it difficult to stop using them, which can lead to harmful consequences. Hospital-based detox can be both intimidating and stigmatising for patients. That’s why Claimont offers specialist drug home detox as an alternative to hospitals and private detox centres. 

Claimont prides itself on offering private drug detox at home services in collaboration with esteemed specialist providers. We facilitate a comprehensive support system for individuals undergoing detox from drugs at home, including assistance with clinical appointments, local fellowship meetings, and connections to other recovery services such as residential rehabilitation. Our home drug detox programmes are designed with the utmost respect for privacy and convenience, ensuring that individuals can embark on their journey to recovery from the comfort and security of their own homes.

By choosing Claimont’s home detox services, individuals gain access to a tailored drug detox at home plan that not only addresses the physical aspects of detoxification but also provides psychological support throughout the process. This holistic approach to drug detox underscores our commitment to facilitating a smoother, more humane path to overcoming dependency, right from the sanctuary of one’s home.

Detox for drugs at home

The primary goal of home drug detox is to allow your body the time it needs to detoxify and recover from drug abuse, preparing you for long-term treatment. During the initial days, you may experience physical withdrawal symptoms, which can range from intense to mild, depending on the patient. With our private drug detox alternative, you’ll receive the necessary support and care to navigate this process successfully.

Psychological withdrawals can often be more challenging to cope with than the physical effects, making it crucial to have the right assistance for a safe and effective recovery.

Choosing a detox from drugs at home offers the unique advantage of healing amidst the comfort and familiarity of loved ones, an aspect that can significantly enhance the recovery experience. This setting allows you to preserve your daily routines, continue with professional responsibilities, and indulge in personal hobbies, all while participating in an all-encompassing home detox programme designed to safeguard your health and facilitate your progression towards a drug-free life.

Our drug home detox service is meticulously crafted to blend seamlessly into your life, minimising disruption while maximising support and care. This approach not only aids in managing the detox for drugs process but also empowers you with the resilience and stability needed for the long haul of recovery, right from the sanctuary of your home. Embracing a drug detox at home with us means choosing a path that respects your need for privacy, comfort, and a personalised recovery journey.

Why choose private home detox over a private centre?

There are many reasons why you may choose private home detox over a private centre or hospital. One of which is accessibility. With our private drug detox at home, you don’t have the hassle of having to travel to a rehab centre, all treatment is delivered in the comfort of your own home. This is particularly useful for those who can’t leave their home or can’t drive.

Another reason why private detox is preferred by many of our clients is that they receive much more personalised care than they would if they were to be in a hospital or private clinic. While private centres do offer personalised care, private drug detox services can be tailored even more to individual needs and preferences. Family members or close friends can actively participate in supporting the person during the detox process.

Not only this, but the wait times are much lower for private detox services at home, meaning you can get the support a lot quicker, pushing towards a faster recovery.

Why choose Claimont for private home detox?

At Claimont, we believe in providing our patients with the best possible care while helping them feel comfortable and in control of their recovery process. With our private home detox service, you don’t have to worry about feeling unsafe or overwhelmed in a hospital setting – you can start your journey towards recovery on your own terms.

The journey to sobriety can often take months and may require a number of different services. Claimont Health provides support during this journey by way of live-in companionship during our private home detox service.

  • What is home treatment?

    Home treatment is a convenient and discreet private service for those who prefer to start their recovery journey in a home environment as an alternative to a hospital, residential rehab or other clinical settings. Private drug rehabilitation can be treated even more efficiently in home settings, so this is the ideal choice for those who wish to remain at home. 

  • How do I begin home treatment?

    If you commit to a drug home treatment, you’ve already taken the first step into your rehabilitation. From here, you will be invited to a consultation where one of our friendly staff members will speak to you about your circumstances including your substance use and personal situation. You may also need to provide a urine or saliva sample during this process.

    From there, we can discuss the treatment options that would best suit your circumstances and map out a bespoke plan that’s perfectly tailored to your needs. You will also be assigned a registered mental health nurse or companion to gently guide you through your recovery.

  • What is drug withdrawal treatment?

    The process for rehabilitation for illicit drugs or prescription medications is similar to alcohol in that it involves managing withdrawal symptoms and helping you overcome your physical dependence. Claimont’s home based treatment focuses on treating the individual’s underlying mental, emotional and physical health issues while gradually introducing healthier habits into their lifestyle.

  • What withdrawal symptoms can I expect?

    A home treatment plan aided by medicine will reduce any withdrawal symptoms, however, some will appear regardless. Within the first few hours, you should expect the early symptoms of withdrawal to present themselves. 

    These symptoms, which will intensify and then subside within a few days depending on the severity of your condition, may include the following:

    • Mild tremors
    • Insomnia
    • Sweating
    • Nausea
    • Headaches
    • Dry mouth
    • Anxiety or mood swings
    • Difficulty concentrating
  • What happens after home treatment?

    Once your home treatment has been completed, you will be advised on how to continue abstinence in order to avoid a relapse. Our specialists will recommend an aftercare technique that works best for you.

    As an example, attending therapy can help you to work through your emotions following withdrawal. You may also benefit from finding a support network of people with similar lived experiences.

  • Who is not suitable for the home treatment process?

    Although the prospect of home treatment is a much more appealing one to the patient than hospital care, it’s not always the right option for everyone. When assessing your or your loved one’s unique circumstances, you should ensure that they are suitable for this process.

    Extra specialist care may be needed for a patient with the following:

    • A history of seizures
    • A history of eating disorders
    • An on-going pregnancy
    • Withdrawal-induced aggression
    • Chronic health concerns such as heart disease, diabetes, lung issues or liver disease
  • Will I need to take medication?

    If your personal circumstances call for it, you may need to take medication alongside your treatment. Depending on your prescription, your medication will help ease the recovery process on a temporary basis.
