Alcohol Home Detox
A seven-day detox and 12-month aftercare program
We know how difficult it is to stop drinking and how overwhelming the recovery process can seem. Our alcohol home detox program will help you safely withdraw from alcohol and give you a clear plan so you can confidently manage your own recovery. We also provide 12-months of support and regular check-in appointments to keep you on track and achieve lasting success.
How To Get Started
- Contact us and we will send you our pre-assessment form.
- Complete our online pre-assessment form which takes about 5 or 10 minutes and then we can book your first appointment.
- Arrange a support person: someone will need to stay with you during the 7-day detox to ensure your safety.
How The Alcohol Home Detox Works
We guide you through our three step process so we are with you at every step
Stage 1. Home Assessment
Our doctor conducts a full medical assessment to ensure your safety and eligibility for a home detox. We provide pathology requests; create a personalised withdrawal plan; prepare you for the detox; and educate you and your support person on the withdrawal process. We also keep your existing healthcare team updated every step of the way.
Stage 2. Home Detox
The home detox takes around seven days and is usually scheduled in a week after your initial assessment. Each morning you will have an appointment with our doctor who will adjust your withdrawal medications and manage any cravings to make you as comfortable as possible. We also provide 24/7 medical support during this time so you or your support person can check-in at any time. You must have a support person with you at all times during this phase of treatment. This can be multiple people throughout the week, but someone must be with you at all times to ensure your safety.
Stage 3. Aftercare
We understand that your recovery doesn’t end once the withdrawal process is complete. That’s why we provide you with an aftercare plan that is tailored to your individual needs, with regular follow-up appointments over the next 12 months.
What Our Patients Say
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.
