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
- Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living
- A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work

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.
