by an expert in dependency ("," reports TMZ.But it works at-home rehab? The most obvious advantage to a patient undergoing rehabilitation at home is that he gets all the comfort, well, home. But this can be a mixed blessing. "The patient does not have access to the full compliment of medical services, "Dr. Petros Levounis, Director of
(Gifford/FilmMagic)Addiction Institute in New York
at hospitals of St Lukes & Roosevelt told the Daily News. "If something goes wrong, are not available." Doing an addict to feel "at home" is not always the wisest move.

.' For example, Sheen is likely to have full access to your mobile and internet, a luxury that typically are denied to patients before entering rehab. "The only benefit to treat Sheen at home to check the environment so that the paparazzi have less access to what's going on," said Moore.

"If the patient is suffering from withdrawal symptoms again, he may require a battery of caregivers to administer IV fluids and medication, advising and planning around the clock hits. This also costs a lot of money – most likely a lot more than you would spend in a traditional inpatient rehabilitation. "You have to bring the resources of the hospital to the patient, rather than the other way around, "said Levounis. Although the patient hospitalized at home has any medical marvel at your disposal, there is one thing that he risks losing-consulting group.

"Part of rehabilitation is asking for help, have the humility and introspection. You cannot bring an AA meeting in someone's home. It is helpful if the patient is willing to leave the House for group therapy and counselling ".There is always a moment when at-home rehabilitation is preferable to traditional treatment? Only when the patient refuses anything else. "When a person constantly refuses to come to a drug treatment centre, then this may be an option for success, "said Levounis.
Moore is less optimistic.
