Types of Home Detox Models:

There are two types of Home Detoxification models:

The Immersive Model:

24/7 On-Site Supervision and Management: An on-site nurse or physician remains with the client at all times throughout the medical detoxification. EHD uses the Immersive Model and places a qualified RN on-site 24/7 for the safety and comfort of the client. **A Sober Companion or Nursing Assistant is not a qualified clinician able to assess the client’s condition during the in-home detox.

Periodic visitation: (Not offered by EHD)

Executive Home Detox® does not offer the Periodic visitation model. EHD takes the detoxification process seriously and prefers to have the RN available to the client at all times. 

The periodic visitation model is as follows; An initial assessment is completed, a plan of care is established, treatment is started, and the client receives a visit from a licensed provider once or twice a day.

Both of these private at home detox models are an alternative to luxury rehab or other inpatient 28 day drug and alcohol treatment.

Executive Home Detox® is a Full Service Private Home Detox Model:

EHD is the first and oldest home detox treatment model to place one expert nurse in the home for the duration of the medical detox. Established in January of 2007; EHD continues to serve clients in their home throughout the United States.

EHD serves clients throughout most of the continental United States. EHD often serves clients in California cities like San Francisco (SF Bay Area) or Los Angeles. 

One highly experienced nurse, expert in addictions and dependence, travels to the client and monitors the home detoxification. The nurse utilizes assessment skills such as the use of vital signs, pulse oximetry, and withdrawal scales to assure the client is treated in the manner their withdrawal symptoms require. The nurse is also expert in the use of detoxification medication and is in contact with the supervising physician whenever necessary.

An onsite nurse-based treatment model is ideal for clients who seek privacy, yet want a competent delivery of care. The expert nurse gets to know the client very well and uses the client’s strengths to help determine recommendations for an aftercare plan.
