Alcoholism treatment programAbout residential alcohol rehab
Residential alcohol rehab is live-in treatment for alcohol use disorder. After a medically supervised detox, you stay at the program while you work through therapy, learn to handle triggers and build a plan for life after treatment.
Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous on its own, so most residential programs either provide detox on site or coordinate it before admission.
What to expect
- A written aftercare plan before discharge
- An intake assessment covering substance use, health and mental health
- Daily individual and group therapy
- Detox on site or coordinated before admission if needed
