Alcoholism treatment programWhat inpatient alcohol rehab involves
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
- 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
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work
