Addiction treatment centerHow residential alcohol rehab works
A residential alcohol program gives you distance from bars, liquor stores and the routines built around drinking. Staff are there day and night, and the schedule leaves little room for the boredom and stress that often lead back to a drink.
Many programs also offer medications that reduce alcohol cravings, such as naltrexone or acamprosate, alongside counseling.
What to expect
- Detox on site or coordinated before admission if needed
- An intake assessment covering substance use, health and mental health
- Family involvement and education
- A written aftercare plan before discharge

Frequently asked questions
What if my loved one won't go to treatment?
You can talk with a specialist about how to approach the conversation. In Texas, Health and Safety Code Chapter 462 also lets a family member or other adult apply to the county court for court-ordered treatment, with a physician's certificate attached, when someone's addiction makes them likely to cause serious harm or keep deteriorating. See our guide to court-ordered treatment in Texas.
Does insurance cover residential 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.
Are there medications for alcohol cravings?
Yes. Naltrexone, acamprosate and disulfiram are FDA-approved for alcohol use disorder, and many residential programs offer them alongside therapy.
Do I need detox before alcohol rehab?
If you drink heavily every day, yes. Alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures, so medically supervised detox usually comes first. Many residential programs provide it on site.
