Addiction treatment centerAbout inpatient alcohol rehab
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.
Inpatient alcohol treatment is built for people at risk of severe withdrawal, such as daily heavy drinkers or anyone who has had shakes, hallucinations or a seizure when cutting back. Texas detox rules require a physician medical director and symptom checks every four hours for the first three days.
