Inpatient alcohol treatment is hospital-level or facility-based care with staff on hand at all hours. It is built for people who need more than a weekly appointment: those who have tried to quit and could not, or who have had a dangerous withdrawal before.
Ask any program how it handles detox, which medications it uses and what step-down care it offers when the inpatient stay ends.
What to expect
- Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living
- A medical and psychiatric evaluation in the first days
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work
