Frequently Asked Questions
The short answer is: Yes.
The longer answer is: Yes, home detoxes are completely safe for some people.
Let me explain. Alcohol dependence is a neurological condition in which the neurons (brain cells) have become dependent on alcohol for normal functioning.
When someone stops their alcohol use, or significantly reduces it the neurons misfire and cause alcohol withdrawal symptoms including:
Feeling Sick (Nausea) / Vomiting / Retching
Tremor / Shakes
Sweats
Anxiety
Agitation
Palpitations
Tactile Disturbances (for example itching, pins/needles, feeling like spiders are crawling over your skin, burning sensation)
Auditory Disturbances (for example sounds sounding more harsh/louder, hearing anything that is disturbing you or hearing things that you know are not there)
Visual Disturbances (for example being more sensitive to light, light hurting eyes, seeing things that are not there, other visual disturbances)
Headaches or fullness of the head (including dizziness)
Orientation or clouding of sensorium (confusion, not knowing what day it is, where they are or who they are).
Seizure / Fits – potentially leading to death.
Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome symptoms typically start 6-8 hours after the last alcoholic drink and peak anywhere between 10-72 hours post last drink. Anecdotal, experience-based evidence suggests for most people they typically peak between 48-72 hours. However everyone’s biological and neurological make up is different, so there is some variation around when withdrawal symptoms start, their intensity and their peak.
Alcohol withdrawal symptoms get worse unless they are medically treated or a person returns to drinking alcohol.
A home alcohol is done by using a short course of Benzodiazepines, usually for 7-10 days to replace the alcohol’s inhibitor response on the brain and then to gradually reducing the dose of Benzodiazepines to nil.
This can be done with some people at home, but is unsuitable for:
Those under 18 years of age.
Women who are pregnant or where there is a risk that they might be.
Those that drink more than 40 units of alcohol daily (a litre bottle of spirits).
Someone who has a history of severe withdrawal symptoms (confusion, hallucinations and/or seizures) or delirium tremens.
Is physically or severely mentally unwell.
People who want to continue to drink or are looking at increasing the amount that they drink in the near future (e.g. people about to go on holiday).
People that live alone or have poor support networks. A home detox requires a person that can ensure the client takes their medication as prescribed, eats 3 nutritious meals a day, drinks plenty of fluids and can liaise with DTXIFY staff.
People that have no fixed abode.
Anyone that can’t get to the agreed pharmacy to pick up medication.
Anyone who has had a detox in the last 3-6 months due to the kindling effect.
Anyone that is currently prescribed any Benzodiazepines.
At DTXIFY we’re experts in addiction and wouldn’t do a Home Alcohol Detox if it wasn’t safe. Contact us today to begin your journey in treatment and recovery from Addictions/Compulive Behaviours.
A home alcohol detox costs £1,199, which includes a comprehensive assessment (usually £99 on its own) and all the care, treatments and equipment that you will require.
This price includes: prescription for medications, medications, 2-4 daily reviews by an Alcohol Specialist, WHOOP band and BAC Track Breathalyzer.
Our Aftercare programme costs £999 and offers 6 months of post-detox support. Our Recovery programme (designed for after the Aftercare programme) costs £999 and offers 6 months of support. For each programme you get:
- X6 (one a month) psychosocial interventions (talking therapy sessions) delivered online by an Alcohol Specialist.
- X6 (one a month) group support sessions delivered online by an Alcohol Specialist.
- The Aftercare Programme helps you to identify the root cause(s) of your drinking.
- The Recovery Programme helps you deal with the root cause(s) and build a new alcohol-free life
Relapse prevention prescribing is prescribing medication to help prevent relapse back to drinking alcohol.
At DTXIFY we generally prescribe two relapse prevention medications for alcohol including:
- Acamprosate – A medication that reduces cravings for alcohol and
- Disulfiram – A medication that causes an adverse reaction if you drink alcohol whilst taking it.
Relapse prevention prescribing isn’t a magic wand. You still have to take positive actions to get into and stay in recovery.
Who is this for?
The Social Drinker
The social drinker is someone that drinks to enjoy themselves with peers. They generally drink in the evenings or at weekends. May want to reduce the amount or frequency of their drinking. Ideal for The Sinclair Method of alcohol treatment programme.
The Binge Drinker
The binge drinker finds it difficult to stop drinking once they start and may go on a binge lasting one or more days. Often when they run out of alcohol, they will often go to the shop and get more. Usually they are not happy with the amount that they drink and the impact their alcohol use is having on their health and/or relationships. Ideal for The Sinclair Method alcohol treatment programme.
The Coping Drinker
The coping drinker drinks to cope with life stressors or to forget their problems or past trauma. They will often continue to drink, even if their alcohol use makes things worse. They would benefit from a home alcohol detoxification or the Sinclair Method treatment programmes. What’s important with this type of drinker, is that they learn new coping strategies for dealing with life or past trauma.
The Unwinder Drinker
The unwinder drinker drinks to relax and relieve stress. They are similar to the coping drinker and would benefit from the psychosocial support offered in both the home alcohol detox or the Sinclair Method treatment programmes offered.
The Dependent Drinker
The dependent drinker is anyone who drinks on a daily basis and has withdrawal symptoms when they don’t drink. They are ideal for a home alcohol detox.
The Aspiring Sober Drinker
The aspiring sober drinker is someone that enjoys the effect of alcohol but wants to be sober. They are ideal for the Sinclair Method treatment programme.
The Worried Drinker
The worried drinker drinks, but worries about the impact of their drinking on their health and/or relationships. The worried drinker is suitable for either the home detox (if required) or the Sinclair Method.
