Residential alcohol treatment combines medical care with structure. Expect a mix of individual therapy, group work, education about alcohol's effects on the body and brain, and time to repair sleep, nutrition and relationships.
Families are often invited into part of the process, because recovery from alcohol use disorder usually works best when the people at home understand it too.
What to expect
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
- Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work
- A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities

- What aftercare is arranged near home?

Frequently asked questions
Should someone from El Paso 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 should I bring to residential rehab?
Bring a photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications, comfortable clothing for about a week and basic toiletries. Most programs share a packing list and restrict items like alcohol-based products and outside medications.
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.
