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

Frequently asked questions
Does insurance cover inpatient alcohol rehab in Texas?
Most commercial health plans cover medically necessary addiction treatment, including residential and inpatient care. Texas law requires group plans to cover chemical dependency treatment on terms no less favorable than physical illness, and state and federal parity rules apply. Coverage depends on your plan, network and medical necessity reviews, so it helps to verify benefits before admission.
Should someone from Georgetown 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 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.
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.
