double the dollar signs in the arg to `substitute-in-file-name'.
something like:
given-input => "def/~/abc/$HOME"
(double-dollar-signs given-input) => "def/~/abc/$$HOME"
(substitute-in-file-name
(double-dollar-signs given-input)) => "~/abc/$HOME"
you can write `double-dollar-signs' in various ways...
