Addiction treatment centerWhat inpatient alcohol rehab involves
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
- Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living
- A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
