Hospital / inpatientDual diagnosisAbout inpatient alcohol rehab
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
- Family involvement and education
- An intake assessment covering substance use, health and mental health
- Daily individual and group therapy
- Detox on site or coordinated before admission if needed

Frequently asked questions
Should someone from Austin stay in Texas for treatment?
For most Texans with a Texas health plan, yes. In-network benefits are easiest to use at Texas programs, family can take part in family sessions, and aftercare near home is simpler to arrange. Some people choose a program in a different part of Texas to get distance from where they used.
What should I bring to residential rehab?
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.
Is alcohol withdrawal dangerous?
It can be. Heavy, long-term drinkers can develop seizures or delirium tremens when they stop. Inpatient care lets doctors monitor and treat withdrawal safely.
What happens after inpatient alcohol treatment?
Most people step down to residential, partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient care, along with support groups and, when appropriate, medication for cravings.
