What is Elite Detox Services?

How does home detox work?

Our process begins with an online assessment, where a prescriber reviews your health, goals, and current alcohol use. If you’re eligible, medication is prescribed to manage withdrawal safely. You’ll receive detailed guidance and ongoing support from our team throughout your detox — all from the comfort of your home.

Yes, when properly supervised. Elite Detox Services provides a medically guided plan, including prescribed medication and daily check-ins. We assess your health first to ensure it’s suitable and safe for you to detox at home.

Who can’t do home detox?

Home detox isn’t suitable for everyone. If you drink more than 30 units of alcohol per day, have a history of seizures, or take medications that interact with detox prescriptions, we may recommend an alternative care pathway. Our team will always provide honest advice and safe recommendations.

What are common withdrawal symptoms?

Symptoms may include sweating, anxiety, nausea, or shaking. In more severe cases, individuals can experience hallucinations or seizures. That’s why medical supervision is critical. Our goal is to keep you comfortable and safe throughout.

How long does detox take?

The average home alcohol detox lasts between 5 and 10 days, depending on your history and response to treatment. Your recovery journey continues beyond detox, and we’ll guide you toward ongoing care and relapse prevention options.

What happens after detox?

Recovery doesn’t end once detox is complete. We offer continued support, guidance, and aftercare referrals to help you build confidence and prevent relapse — because your wellbeing matters every step of the way.

How much does it cost?

Our home detox programmes are £1,200, which includes assessment, medical supervision, and professional guidance throughout your treatment. Optional relapse-prevention medication can be added starting from £380.

What if I experience complications?

If you ever feel unsafe or experience symptoms such as hallucinations, rapid heartbeat, or seizures, you should call emergency services immediately. Our clinical team is also available daily from 24/7 for reassurance and advice.

What medication is typically used?

Disulfiram — Disulfiram is one medication that can help some people stop drinking. It works by interfering with the way your body breaks down alcohol. When you drink after taking disulfiram, a substance builds up in your body that causes a strong physical reaction. This reaction can include nausea, vomiting, sweating, chest pain, palpitations, headaches, dizziness, and even difficulty breathing. Because of how unpleasant these effects are, many people are deterred from drinking while on this medication. Naltrexone — Naltrexone is another option that’s often prescribed for alcohol use disorder. It works by blocking the rewarding effects of alcohol in the brain, which helps reduce cravings and the urge to drink. It can also help people stay on track with their recovery, even if they slip up and drink a small amount. Acamprosate — Acamprosate is a more recent medication used in alcohol treatment. It helps restore the balance of certain brain chemicals that are disrupted by long-term alcohol use. This can help reduce the desire to drink and support people in maintaining abstinence.

Understanding Alcohol Detox

Alcohol dependence affects both body and mind. When you stop drinking after heavy or long-term use, your body may experience withdrawal — a natural response to the absence of alcohol. These symptoms can range from mild anxiety to more serious complications such as seizures. That’s why a supervised detox is the safest way to begin recovery.

Elite Detox Services offers, safe, discreet, medically supervised home detox with compassionate support at every step.

Frequently asked questions

Deciding whether you need to detox depends on how much you drink, how often, and for how long. If you’ve been drinking heavily or regularly, your body may have developed a physical dependence. Stopping suddenly can cause dangerous withdrawal symptoms — so it’s always safest to consult a healthcare professional before attempting to detox alone.
