A detox assessment is a structured clinical conversation between you and a GMC-registered prescriber. It covers your drinking history, current intake, physical health, mental health, medications, and home environment. By the end of the assessment, your prescriber will be able to tell you whether home detox is likely to be safe and appropriate for you — and if it is, what your programme would involve.
The assessment takes approximately 30–45 minutes and takes place by phone or secure video call — at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends where available. There is no obligation to proceed at any point. The assessment is free and carries no commitment.

Frequently asked
questions.
Is the assessment really free?+
Yes. The initial clinical assessment carries no charge and no obligation to proceed.
Is everything I say confidential?+
Yes. Everything you discuss during your assessment is held in strict confidence and handled in full compliance with UK GDPR. We do not share information with employers, family members, insurers, or any third party without your explicit consent.
What if home detox is not appropriate for me?+
Your prescriber will tell you honestly and help you understand what alternative settings would be safer — whether that is NHS community services, inpatient detox, or another pathway. We will not accept you on a programme if it is not the right option for you.
