What Is a Doctor-Led Home Detox?

A safe, medically supervised way to withdraw from alcohol or other substances at home

With AIR Detox, you don’t need to put your life on hold to get the help you need. Our doctor-led home detox service allows you to withdraw in the comfort and privacy of your own home, with medical care brought directly to you. We support people who experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop drinking or using substances, and who need structured medical oversight to do so safely. Throughout the detox, our medical team provides daily reviews, symptom management, and prescription medication when clinically appropriate.

Being at home means you can remain in familiar surroundings, with the people and routines that help you feel supported. Our focus is on safety, dignity, and helping you get through the withdrawal process as comfortably as possible. Once the detox is complete, we continue to support you with 12 months of follow-up care, including clinical check-ins, relapse-prevention planning, and guidance around next steps, so you’re not left on your own after detox.

Who Is Suitable for a Home Detox?

A home detox is suitable for people who are physically dependent on alcohol or other substances and experience withdrawal symptoms when they try to stop or cut down. Our service is designed for people who need medical oversight to manage withdrawal safely, while remaining in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. Every person is different. That’s why all patients complete a medical assessment before starting, to ensure a home detox is safe and appropriate for their situation.

You may be suitable for a home detox if you:

- Drink or use substances most days
- Have tried to stop before and experienced symptoms such as anxiety, shaking, sweating, nausea, poor sleep, or agitation
- Feel unwell or distressed when you miss a day or reduce your intake
- Are concerned about the risks of withdrawing without medical support
- Prefer a safe, private alternative to hospital-based detox
- Have a safe home environment and a reliable support person available during the detox period

A home detox may not be suitable if:

You do not experience withdrawal symptoms when you stop using
Your substance use is occasional or social
You are able to stop safely without medical support
You have uncontrolled or unstable medical conditions that require hospital-level care
You have complex or acute psychiatric conditions that need more intensive mental health support
You do not have a reliable support person available during the detox period

Each AIR Detox program is tailored following a comprehensive medical assessment, with daily medical reviews, symptom management, and medication when needed, followed by 12 months of follow-up care.

What Our Patients Say

Real experiences from people we’ve support through a home detox

I found AIR Detox to be very personable & friendly yet professional & caring in their aaproach. I believe the possibility of doing a home detox provides an alternative option to a lot of people who are unable to be away from their home for the full detox period for whatever reason and I would highly recommend AIR Detox for this option. Thanks so much guys.

I chose AIR Detox because it was in the comfort of my own home. The support of Hok & Catriona is outstanding. No judgement just getting you back on track. My life is much better, I wake feeling alive & not foggy, more motivated. I am so fortunate to have so much support. The hardest thing to do is making that decision & picking up the phone or sending email.

I found AIR Detox to be very professional,compassionate and most importantly tailored to my needs. Before engaging with Dr Hok I was consuming excessive amounts of alcohol which became detrimental to my health. After the initial consultation with Dr Hok I felt empowered to rectify my drinking habits with the support of a plan that allowed me to reclaim my sense of well-being. Dr Hok’s program comes with my highest recommendation. Due to the program’s ability to support me in the privacy of my own home. I wish I had done it sooner.
