Ash Rehab provides private, medically supervised home alcohol detox in Hertfordshire, covering Watford, St Albans, Rickmansworth, Bushey and the Borough of Hertsmere. If you are ready to stop drinking with proper clinical support, we can usually assess you the same day.
For many people in Hertfordshire, the idea of checking into a residential unit, travelling to London for appointments, or taking extended time away from work and family is not realistic. Home detox removes that barrier. You recover where you are, with your own support around you, without the disruption or exposure of a clinic admission.
Our Hertfordshire service covers the south and west of the county, closest to our north London base: Watford and its neighbouring communities; St Albans, Harpenden and the surrounding district; Rickmansworth, Croxley Green and Chorleywood; Bushey; and Borehamwood, Elstree, Potters Bar and Radlett in Hertsmere.
Assessment can typically be completed the same day and programmes started within 24–48 hours. Every programme includes the same standard of care, wherever you live.
If you live elsewhere in Hertfordshire, call 0330 043 9963 before ruling us out. We will tell you honestly whether we can provide nurse visits at your address and, if we cannot, we will help you find the right support.
A confidential phone or video assessment with our clinical team, in most cases on the day you get in touch.
Your prescriber reviews your blood results, then writes a personalised detox plan around your drinking history and health.
An NMC-registered nurse visits you at home on a schedule set around your clinical needs, monitoring your withdrawal with the CIWA-Ar scale and reporting to your prescriber.
Before your programme ends, we agree a written relapse prevention plan and send a discharge summary to your GP unless you ask us not to.
We cover Watford, St Albans (including Harpenden), Rickmansworth and the surrounding Three Rivers villages, Bushey, and the Borough of Hertsmere, including Borehamwood, Elstree, Potters Bar, Radlett and Shenley.
Please call us on 0330 043 9963. We will tell you honestly whether we can provide nurse visits at your address. If we cannot, we will help you find appropriate support.
No. Your assessment takes place by phone or secure video call, and all nursing is delivered to your home. Ash Rehab does not operate a clinic that patients visit.
In most cases we can complete your clinical assessment the same day you contact us and begin your programme within 24–48 hours.

Your first assessment is a 25-minute video call with a GMC-registered prescriber. No waiting room, no clinic, no disclosure to anyone you have not chosen to tell. Four short questions, answered honestly, will tell us whether a home detox is the right setting for this moment in your life.
