Addiction treatment centerAbout inpatient alcohol rehab
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
- A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
- Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living
- A medical and psychiatric evaluation in the first days
Before you choose inpatient alcohol rehab
NIAAA calls alcohol detox a critical first step, not treatment by itself. A good inpatient alcohol program near Athens plans the next level of care, residential or intensive outpatient, before the detox ends.
Questions to ask
- Where do patients go after detox?
- Who manages withdrawal overnight?
- Will the program start a medication for cravings?
