Residential / inpatientDual diagnosisDetox availableHow inpatient alcohol rehab works
Inpatient alcohol rehab provides medically supervised care for people whose drinking has reached the point where stopping safely needs a doctor. Alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures and delirium tremens, so inpatient detox is often the safest place to start.
Once withdrawal is under control, treatment shifts to therapy, medication for cravings and planning for the weeks after discharge.
What to expect
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work
- A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities
- A medical and psychiatric evaluation in the first days

Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to residential rehab?
Bring a photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications, comfortable clothing for about a week and basic toiletries. Most programs share a packing list and restrict items like alcohol-based products and outside medications.
What if my loved one won't go to treatment?
You can talk with a specialist about how to approach the conversation. In Florida, the Marchman Act also lets family members petition a court for involuntary assessment and treatment when someone has lost control of their substance use and is a danger to themselves or others. See our Marchman Act guide for Polk County.
What happens after inpatient alcohol treatment?
Most people step down to residential, partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient care, along with support groups and, when appropriate, medication for cravings.
Is alcohol withdrawal dangerous?
It can be. Heavy, long-term drinkers can develop seizures or delirium tremens when they stop. Inpatient care lets doctors monitor and treat withdrawal safely.
