The following is a list of services which we provide in home:
What is Detox?
Detoxification is the first step in the substance abuse recovery process and involves the physiological removal of toxic substances, such as drugs or alcohol, from the human body. Detox is required for any substance to which you have become physically addicted, such as alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine, opiates, or more.
Detox comes with a variety of withdrawal symptoms that vary depending on the individual, the substance to which you are addicted, and the level of your addiction. See below for the types of addiction we treat, along with more information about the withdrawal symptoms for each.

Kinkaid’s Multidisciplinary Care Team
We use an integrated team approach for our in-home detox program to ensure your safe and effective recovery. Our team consists of the following:
LEAD PHYSICIAN AND ADDICTION SPECIALIST:
Our team is led by a board-certified physician and addiction specialist with more than 20 years of expertise in the field.
EXPERIENCED NURSES:
Our team of highly qualified detox nurses provide premium care and remain with you throughout your detox process. Also, because you are receiving your care at home, our nurses observe and monitor any potential family interactions and/or home triggers that may hinder your recovery process. They then recommend customized solutions to these issues if need be.
BEHAVIORAL THERAPIST:
Depending on your situation, your care team may include a behavioral therapist to perform some preliminary evaluation and counseling as needed. Our behavioral therapists have extensive experience in the field of addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions and can help you and your loved ones during your recovery process.
AFTERCARE SPECIALIST:
Our aftercare specialist helps direct you toward your next phase of treatment once your detox process is complete. Remember, detox is only the first step in your recovery.
Is it Safe to Detox at Home?
Trained medical professionals only recommend drug or alcohol detox under constant supervision. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe, and even life threatening, which is why medical oversight is essential. In addition, without this support the discomfort and cravings will likely overcome you, leading you right back to the substance.
Under the expert care of a private detox nurse, these risks are mitigated. The nurse continually oversees vital signs, withdrawal symptoms, and psychological distress, and provides needed medical and mental health support. This assures you will safely complete the detox process and be prepared for the treatment phase of recovery.

How Are Withdrawal Symptoms Managed at Home?
Individuals who undergo a detox at home actually receive the exact same treatment protocols as in a detox facility. This means that during home detox the private detox nurse has all the same withdrawal management tools at her fingertips. The nurse will provide the following treatment interventions as needed:
- Medication. For alcohol detox, benzos are provided to reduce anxiety and the risk of seizures. There are drugs available for other substances that help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Over the counter meds are provided for headache, joint, bone and muscle pain, and gastric distress.
- IV vitamin therapy. Concierge services include IV therapy. The Myers cocktail helps restore hydration and electrolytes, and replace vitamins and minerals. Due to its high absorption rate, vitamin infusions provide multiple benefits, like renewed energy and better sleep.
- Holistic. The detox process can be better tolerated with the addition of some holistic methods. Our concierge services provide services to reduce discomfort during detox, such as yoga, massage therapy, acupuncture, and guided meditation.
- Mental Health. Our detox team includes mental health support if symptoms like hallucinations, paranoid thoughts, anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts should emerge.
Home Detox Timeline
We highly individualize the detox process and timeline. How it unfolds is based on several factors that can influence symptom severity and duration. These factors include:
- With substance or substances are involved
- Length of substance abuse or addiction history
- Level of daily consumption
- Co-occurring mental health disorder
- Age and general health status
- Number of attempted detoxes in the past
In general, the home detox Los Angeles timeline follows three phases. The length of time in each phase will vary based on the above factors. For instance, someone who is detoxing from benzos will need to taper off the drug, which can take 2 or 3 weeks.
3 Stages of Detox:
Emerging symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms begin to surface within 6-24 hours after the last substance dose or drink. This stage only lasts a day or two and often includes nausea, irritability, sweating, shaking, muscle aches, and headache.
Peak symptoms. During this stage, withdrawal symptoms reach their peak in severity. The duration of this stage depends on the specific substance and how severe the substance use disorder is. You may experience symptoms such as mental confusion, severe flu-like symptoms, agitation, hallucinations, anxiety, paranoia, seizures, and suicidal thoughts. This is the stage, on days 3-4 of alcohol detox, that the delirium tremens may emerge, which is a health emergency.
Subsiding symptoms. The last stage of detox is when you begin to experience relief of symptoms. Some symptoms may persist for weeks or months, such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
Kinkaid Drug and Alcohol Detox Program:
In addition to our ongoing nursing care, we offer various in-home therapies that help reduce detox symptoms by promoting relaxation, mindfulness, and stress reduction. These therapies include:
Detox Aftercare Planning:
How you follow up your detox is just as important as the detox itself. And while it may be tempting to stop your recovery process after detox, you need to continue recovering and do so in a way that is comfortable for you. Our nurses will help you create a comprehensive post-detox plan so you can safely and effectively continue your road to recovery. Learn more about our Detox Aftercare Planning here.

Which organ is involved in the detoxification of drugs and alcohol?
The liver is the primary organ responsible for the detoxification of the body. It removes toxins from the bloodstream, metabolizes drugs and alcohol into nontoxic compounds, and carries away waste products.
What does detoxing feel like?
The withdrawal effects of different drugs vary. People often compare the effects of opioid withdrawal to an intense flu; alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can include tremors, sweats, and hallucinations; and stimulant withdrawal often parallels severe depression and anxiety. Withdrawing from any drug often includes intense drug cravings as well.
Can I Detox in 24 hours?
Detoxification typically takes between 3-7 days. This can vary depending on the quantity of substances taken, the duration of use, and factors such as your age or weight, but a 24-hour detox is extremely unlikely.
Is detoxing from home safe?
Many drugs are unsafe to detox from without the help of medical professionals, including alcohol, benzodiazepines, or barbiturates. But you can detox safely from home with the help of a medical in-home detox team, who can provide targeted medications and treatments to reduce your withdrawal symptoms.
What should I take to detox?
Have available any medications that you’re currently taking, as well as any relevant medical information that may help your provider determine a treatment plan. Wearing comfortable clothing is also advised – as well as having available anything to occupy your time, such as a book or journal.
