Addiction treatment centerWhat inpatient alcohol rehab involves
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
- Detox on site or coordinated before admission if needed
- An intake assessment covering substance use, health and mental health
- Family involvement and education
- Daily individual and group therapy
