Addiction treatment centerHow inpatient alcohol rehab works
In an inpatient alcohol program, nursing staff monitor vital signs and withdrawal symptoms around the clock, and physicians adjust medications as needed. That level of oversight matters for heavy, long-term drinkers and anyone with heart, liver or seizure history.
Inpatient programs also screen for depression, anxiety and other conditions that often travel with alcohol use disorder.
What to expect
- 24-hour staff and a structured, substance-free setting
- Help arranging care after you leave
- Evidence-based therapies such as CBT and motivational interviewing
- Care for co-occurring anxiety, depression or trauma

- Which medications are used for withdrawal?
- Will the program start a medication for cravings?
