Alcohol Detoxification at Home
We’ve partnered with healthcare providers to offer eligible members, where clinically appropriate, the option to safely withdraw and detox from alcohol in the comfort of their home, rather than being admitted as hospital inpatients.
Use our Find a Provider tool to find a registered Alcohol Detoxification at Home provider so you can begin the referral process.
