1(800) 615-1067Rehab for alcohol addiction typically involves a combination of medical, psychological, and behavioral treatments to help individuals achieve and maintain sobriety.
The first step is usually a medical detoxification process to safely manage withdrawal symptoms and rid the body of alcohol. After detox, therapy and counseling may be used to address the underlying psychological and emotional issues that contributed to the addiction. This can involve individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Rehab for alcohol addiction may also include medications that can help reduce cravings and prevent relapse, such as acamprosate, disulfiram, and naltrexone.
Finally, many rehab programs include aftercare services to help individuals transition back into their daily lives after leaving the facility. This may include support groups, sober living environments, and ongoing counseling or therapy.
