When is it Time to Go to Alcohol Rehab? 

While it may never seem like a “good time” to go to alcohol rehab, it may be the best decision you make to help you get your life back on track.  Symptoms that may indicate it is time to go to rehab include:

• Inability to quit or decrease drinking
• Increased tolerance to drinking
• Experiencing legal troubles as a result of your drinking
• Drinking in unsafe situations
• Decreased interest in things you once enjoyed
• Your drinking has caused problems in your relationships
• Inability to maintain employment or your commitments
• Frequent cravings to drink
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you do not drink for long periods of time

Types of Alcohol Rehab Programs

With roughly 14 million Americans suffering from Alcohol Use Disorder annually, there are now more treatment options available to help people achieve their goals of recovery.  To make an informed decision about what alcohol rehab program is best for you, take a look at the different types of programs available. 

• Detox: Due to the potential for severe, or even life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, it is usually recommended that you detox in a medical detox facility so you can be monitored by medical staff.  They can administer medications to decrease the intensity of symptoms and will monitor your vitals to ensure you are safe. 
• Residential: Once the alcohol has been successfully detoxed from your body, usually the next step is attending a residential alcohol treatment program.  These programs require that you live at the center while you receive intensive therapies to help you address the mental and physical aspects of your addiction and learn to live a healthier, happier life.  Length of stay for these programs will be determined by your individual treatment plan, but typically range from several weeks to six months.  
• Outpatient: After completing a residential program, you will be connected with an outpatient program where you will build on what you learned in residential, learn how to identify the stages of relapse, and continue to explore group and individual therapies.
