Addiction treatment centerAbout residential alcohol rehab
A residential alcohol program gives you distance from bars, liquor stores and the routines built around drinking. Staff are there day and night, and the schedule leaves little room for the boredom and stress that often lead back to a drink.
Many programs also offer medications that reduce alcohol cravings, such as naltrexone or acamprosate, alongside counseling.
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
- A medical and psychiatric evaluation in the first days
