Medically Supervised Drug and Alcohol Detox From Home
Not everyone who needs detox requires inpatient care. For those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms and a stable support system at home, Riverside Recovery’s Outpatient Detox Program offers a safe, structured alternative to traditional inpatient detox.
This program allows individuals to begin their recovery journey with daily medical oversight, counseling, and recovery-focused education, while continuing to sleep in their own bed and maintain daily responsibilities.
With the support of our expert medical and clinical team, outpatient detox is a convenient and effective way to start the recovery process.
Who Is Outpatient Detox For?
Our outpatient detox program is ideal for individuals who:
- Are experiencing mild to moderate withdrawal sympto
- Have a stable home environment and reliable support system
- Are physically and psychologically stable enough to detox without inpatient supervision
- Are motivated to begin recovery and can commit to daily participation
- May have completed prior treatment or are seeking a step-down from inpatient care
All clients are assessed before admission to ensure outpatient detox is the appropriate level of care. If we find you or your loved one needs more intensive support, we’ll provide a referral to a higher level of care.
What to Expect During Outpatient Detox
Comprehensive Medical Oversight
Every client is under the care of a licensed medical provider who develops a personalized detox protocol based on the individual’s medical history, current symptoms, and substance use pattern.
- Daily clinical check-ins with physician or nursing staff
- Withdrawal symptom management and vital sign monitoring
- Evidence based medication protocols to ease symptoms and support safety
- 24/7 on-call support for urgent medical needs
Counseling and Recovery Support
Outpatient detox includes regular counseling and education to help individuals begin building tools for long-term recovery.
- Weekly individual or group therapy (as recommended)
- Psychoeducation to understand addiction, withdrawal, and next steps
- Family involvement in planning and support
Family Participation
Outpatient detox isn’t just about the individual; it’s about the whole support system. Family involvement is required during this level of care. We offer:
- Orientation and education for loved ones
- Guided communication and family therapy (when appropriate)
- Support groups to help families prepare for post-detox life
Preparing for the Next Phase of Care
Detox is not a cure — it’s a beginning. We work closely with each client to build a recovery plan that extends beyond withdrawal. Following detox, you may be referred to:
- Day/Night Treatment
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
- Another Outpatient Program
Our goal is to ensure a seamless transition, with no gaps in care between detox and ongoing support.
