Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Partial Hospital Programs
Partial hospitalization programs are a form of intensive addiction treatment. They help patients struggling with an alcohol use disorder (AUD), mental health disorder, or a dual diagnosis overcome their addiction.
Residential Treatment
Residential treatment centers are inpatient facilities that offer 30-day, 60-day, or 90-day addiction treatment programs.
Teen Drug & Alcohol Rehab for Teenagers
Many teens struggle with alcohol abuse, which can lead to an alcohol use disorder (AUD) over time. Rehab for teens isn’t necessary for every young adult who tries alcohol, but many of them benefit from these programs.
Inpatient Rehabilitation
Inpatient rehab is an effective treatment method for alcohol use disorder (AUD). Inpatient treatment takes place at a licensed residential treatment center. These centers offer 24-hour comprehensive and structured care.
Outpatient Rehabilitation
Outpatient treatment helps people with mild to moderate alcohol use disorders (AUD). Unlike inpatient treatment, outpatient rehab works around a person's schedule, and they do not stay overnight.
Relapse Prevention
After someone successfully overcomes an alcohol addiction, they will create a relapse prevention plan. This plan helps the individual stay sober after treatment.

How to Detox from Alcohol
Detoxing from alcohol is the first step in the treatment process. Mild cases of alcoholism may not require medical supervision, while severe cases always require medical supervision.
Side Effects of Detoxing
The side effects of alcohol detoxification can be severe, depending on how long the person has been abusing alcohol. Serious withdrawal symptoms can also occur. So, people detoxing from alcohol should always be monitored by a medical professional.

12-Step Programs
12-step programs were created by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). They are considered the treatment standard for many addiction facilities and programs.
