VIP In-Home Detox©
VIP IN-HOME Detox is a key entry point to America’s robust network of services dedicated to treating addiction to alcohol, opioids, barbiturates, tranquilizers, stimulants, illegally manufactured fentanyl or any unidentified substances capable of doing harm. The spectrum of addiction treatment services is broad, but the first critical step is detoxification, which cleanses the body of harmful substances and manages the effects of withdrawal—a process we achieve in 10 to 14 days overall in the privacy and comfort of your home using the most efficient evidence-based procedures in the application of Medically Assisted Treatment.
Alcoholism (Alcohol Use Disorder)
Since the introduction of Alcoholics Anonymous, alcohol addiction recovery has come a long way, providing us with medically-approved, evidence-based methods to first detoxify and then follow up by long-term addiction treatment support programs. Treatment of alcohol addiction has benefited greatly by use of medications such as naltrexone in restoring and maintaining sobriety and good health to many millions of Americans. According to the 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 20.5 million Americans were addicted to alcohol (AUD) in 2022.
Opioids (Opioid Use Disorder)
Opioids are a class of drugs that include the illegal drug heroin, synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, and pain relievers available legally by prescription, such as oxycodone (OxyContin®), hydrocodone (Vicodin®), codeine, morphine, and many others. Detoxification and treatment of opioid addiction has benefitted greatly by use of medications such as buprenorphine, naltrexone, and methadone, but they remain highly underutilized. Though fentanyl is approved to treat severe pain related to surgery, over the past decade it has been manufactured and distributed illegally (IMF) and, according to federal data, was responsible for 64 percent of deaths attributed to opioids. Many people are exposed to fentanyl without knowledge while others use it intentionally because of its potency. And recently, Xylazine, a non-opioid veterinary tranquilizer not approved for human use has been linked to an increasing number of overdose deaths nationwide. Studies show people exposed to xylazine often knowingly or unknowingly used it in combination with other drugs, particularly illicit fentanyl.
Benzodiazepines (Benzodiazepine Use Disorder)
Commonly called “Benzos” these are prescription sedatives that normally slow down activities in the brain and nervous system. They are commonly prescribed for anxiety or insomnia and are best known by their trade names: Valium, Xanax, Klonopin, Halcion, Ativan among others. According to the National Institutes of health (NIH), 20 percent of benzodiazepines prescribed are misused, mostly by people 65 or older.
Stimulants (Stimulant Use Disorder)
The most commonly used prescription stimulants in 2022 were Ritalin and Adderall, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD. They are classified by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as Schedule II medications due to their high potential for abuse and dependence. Use of these stimulants other than as prescribed has become a serious addiction problem in the United States and abroad, especially on college campuses. Stimulants also encompass the highly addictive drugs cocaine and methamphetamine. According to federal data,1.6 million Americans were addicted to methamphetamine in 2021 and nearly one million used cocaine (or crack) in 2022, mostly young people in the 18-25 year age group.
