In-home detox at Concierge Home Detox starts at $3,500 per day, all-inclusive — covering 24/7 licensed RN supervision, comfort medications, monitoring equipment, and aftercare planning. A typical 5-7 day program runs $17,500 to $24,500 for the entire detox. This is a private-pay service with no insurance billing, designed for people who value privacy, schedule flexibility, and one-on-one clinical attention over the standard rehab experience.
If you are reading this, you or someone close to you is probably weighing the cost of in-home detox against the alternatives. We believe you deserve a transparent answer up front. This article explains exactly what our pricing covers, why it costs what it does, how it compares to inpatient rehab, and who in-home detox makes financial sense for.
What our $3,500/day rate actually includes
The day rate covers everything required to detox safely at home: a licensed Registered Nurse on-site or on-call 24/7, all comfort medications and IV fluids, vital-sign monitoring equipment, electrolyte and lab supplies, and a clinical care plan reviewed by Austin Mallory, BSN, RN. There are no hidden fees, no separate medication charges, and no facility per-night charges layered on top.
Specifically, every CHD program includes:
- Pre-admission clinical assessment. A confidential conversation with our clinical team to review medical history, mental health history, and substance use pattern. We also coordinate with your primary care physician when appropriate.
- 24/7 RN supervision. An experienced addiction-medicine RN is with you in your home or on-call throughout detox, performing scheduled assessments, monitoring vital signs, and adjusting medications based on Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment (CIWA-Ar) scores or the equivalent for non-alcohol detox.
- All comfort medications. Benzodiazepines for alcohol withdrawal taper, anti-nausea medication, sleep support, and as-needed prescriptions are included — not billed separately.
- Monitoring equipment + supplies. Pulse oximetry, blood pressure monitoring, IV fluids and electrolyte replacement, and any additional supplies the protocol requires.
- Aftercare planning. Before discharge from detox, we connect you with the appropriate next level of care — outpatient treatment, sober companion services, an interventionist, or therapy referrals — and warm-hand-off the transition.
Why is in-home detox $3,500/day?
The day rate reflects the cost of dedicating a licensed RN to one client at a time, in their home, for the entire detox period. Most facility-based programs distribute one nurse across 8-12 patients per shift; in-home detox is one-to-one care. The price covers the nurse’s time, malpractice coverage, all medications and supplies bundled, and the operational logistics of bringing a clinical team to your residence.
For context, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the median wage for a Registered Nurse with addiction-medicine specialization at roughly $40-65/hour, before benefits and overhead. A 24-hour day with 1:1 RN coverage alone is a substantial cost; layered with medications, supplies, and clinical oversight, the all-inclusive day rate at our level is in line with the actual cost of dedicated home-based medical care.
How long is a typical in-home detox?
Most in-home detox programs at Concierge Home Detox run 5-7 days, with a 5-day minimum. Alcohol detox typically peaks at 48-72 hours and resolves by day 5-7. Opioid withdrawal usually lasts 5-10 days depending on the substance. Benzodiazepine taper is the longest, often 2-4 weeks because the taper has to be slow to prevent seizure or rebound symptoms.
For a standard 5-7 day program, your total investment ranges from $17,500 to $24,500. Longer benzo tapers run higher because of the extended supervision window.
How does in-home detox cost compare to inpatient rehab?
Standard 30-day inpatient rehab in the United States typically costs $30,000 to $50,000 for a private-pay facility, which works out to roughly $1,000-$1,700 per day. In-home detox at $3,500/day is more expensive on a per-day basis but typically runs 5-7 days versus 30, so the total for detox is comparable or lower. The difference is what you get for the money.
| Element | 30-day inpatient rehab | 5-7 day in-home detox |
|---|---|---|
| Total cost | $30,000 – $50,000+ | $17,500 – $24,500 |
| RN ratio | 1 nurse per 8-12 patients | 1 nurse, 1 client |
| Privacy | Shared facility, public discovery risk | Total — never leave your home |
| Schedule | 30 days off work and family | 5-7 days, often discreet enough to continue light remote work |
| Aftercare | Typically transitions to outpatient at the same facility | Customized referrals based on your situation |
| Insurance | Usually covered (in-network) or partially covered (out-of-network) | Private pay only |
Why we don’t accept insurance — and what that actually means for you
Concierge Home Detox is private pay only because the insurance billing model and prior-authorization process is incompatible with the speed, flexibility, and confidentiality our clients need. When insurance is the payer, treatment decisions get filtered through a benefits coordinator at the insurance company who decides what is “medically necessary” — often weeks after the request, with documentation that follows the patient for years.
Going private pay means three concrete things for you:
- You can start within 24-48 hours. No prior authorization. No “tell us why outpatient won’t work first.” A clinical assessment, a yes from both sides, and we are at your door.
- Nothing goes on your insurance record. No claim is filed. No prior-authorization paperwork in the insurer’s database. No future risk of a life-insurance carrier or employer accessing your treatment history through legal discovery.
- The clinical team works for you, not the payer. If you need an extra day of monitoring, we extend. If you need a different medication protocol, we adjust. There is no billing code that limits your care plan.
Who is in-home detox the right financial choice for?
In-home detox at this price point is the right choice if:
- You are a working professional whose career or reputation would suffer from a 30-day rehab absence. The math here is often simple: a high-earning executive losing 30 days of work and exposing the absence to colleagues is, in real terms, more expensive than the detox itself.
- You are a public figure, executive, or person with a recognizable name in your community. Discretion has measurable value.
- You are a primary caregiver — for children, an aging parent, or a family business — who cannot leave the house for 30 days. In-home detox lets you continue caregiving while recovering with full clinical support.
- You have already tried inpatient rehab. For people on a second or third attempt at recovery, the privacy and 1:1 attention of in-home detox often produces better engagement.
- Your insurance plan would only cover outpatient detox (which is typically inadequate for moderate-to-severe withdrawal) and you want safe medical detox without 30 days of in-network treatment downstream.
In-home detox is not the right choice if budget is the primary constraint, you have a co-occurring medical condition that requires hospital-level care, or you have a history of severe complications during withdrawal (prior seizures, prior delirium tremens). For those situations, supervised inpatient detox is safer and we will tell you so during the consultation.
Is in-home detox tax deductible?
Yes — addiction treatment costs are typically deductible as a medical expense on your federal tax return if your total qualified medical expenses exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. Speak with your accountant before assuming applicability to your situation; deductibility depends on your AGI and other deductions.
How to get a real quote
Pricing depends on a few specifics: substance(s) involved, expected program length (5-day alcohol detox vs. 3-week benzo taper), location and travel logistics for our clinical team, and whether you need any add-on services like an interventionist or sober companion for post-detox transition.
The fastest path is a confidential, no-cost consultation. We will assess medical and clinical fit, give you an exact dollar quote, and answer questions. If we are not the right level of care, we will tell you and refer you to someone who is.

Frequently asked questions about in-home detox cost
Is there a deposit?
Yes. We ask for a portion of the total program cost upfront before the clinical team mobilizes. The remainder is invoiced after the program completes. Specifics are covered in the consultation.
What payment methods do you accept?
Wire transfer, ACH, and major credit cards. Some clients use a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for a portion of the costs — check with your administrator.
Can I finance in-home detox?
We do not offer financing directly, but several third-party medical financing providers (e.g., CareCredit, Prosper Healthcare Lending) offer loans for addiction treatment. Discuss options during the consultation.
Will my health insurance reimburse me later if I pay out of pocket?
Some clients pay privately and submit paperwork to their insurance for partial out-of-network reimbursement. Success rates vary widely by carrier, plan, and policy specifics. We do not guarantee reimbursement and we do not handle the paperwork on your behalf — that is between you and your insurer.
What if the program needs to extend past 7 days?
If the clinical team determines you need additional days of monitoring, we discuss that with you in advance and continue at the same daily rate. We never extend without consent and we never extend for billing reasons.
