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
- A medical and psychiatric evaluation in the first days
- Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
