Before we start the detox, we take a few important steps to ensure your safety and comfort. First, you’ll meet with our doctor for a free comprehensive medical assessment where we’ll learn about your health history and relationship with alcohol. This helps us create a personalised alcohol home detox plan just for you.
We’ll also meet your support person and explain their role in your detox journey. Afterwards, you’ll need some blood tests and must start taking vitamin B1 (thiamine), which protects your brain during the alcohol detox process.
There will be about a week between your first appointment and starting your home detox — this important time allows your body to build up essential vitamin stores required for a safe detox. We’ll stay in touch regularly during this preparation week to support you and make sure you’re ready for a successful alcohol home detox experience.
