Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between inpatient and outpatient alcohol rehab?

The main difference between residential and outpatient alcohol treatment is that residential treatment requires a patient to stay in specialised facilities overnight, whereas outpatient treatment allows the patients to return home every day after the treatment sessions. During your treatment and recovery in residential treatment, you will be supervised by healthcare staff in the facilities.

Which alcohol treatment approach is the most effective?

Regardless of the severity of the addiction, inpatient alcohol rehab is widely recognised as the most effective form of treatment for conquering alcoholism and maintaining long-term sobriety, especially residential treatment.

Why is residential alcohol rehab regarded as the most effective treatment option?

Residential alcohol rehab is a live-in rigorous treatment programme that is developed to assist you in abandoning drinking and giving you the best chance of long-term recovery. Any type of alcohol rehab has its own set of difficulties, but individualised residential alcohol rehab programmes have the highest success rates because they remove you from temptation and the atmosphere that encourages your addiction.

What are the stages of alcoholism rehabilitation?

Abstinence, repair, and growth are the three stages of recovery.

The first stage focuses on dealing with cravings and avoiding recurring alcohol consumption. The second stage's main goal is to repair the damage that the addiction has caused. The acquisition of previously unlearned skills that have contributed to addiction vulnerability defines the growth stage (or third stage). The third stage emphasises moving forward with one's life and building long-term sober processes and techniques.

What is the difference in cost between residential and outpatient alcohol treatment?

Because of all the staff, logistics, and facilities required, residential alcohol therapy will be more expensive than outpatient treatment.  

What factors impact your decision to seek alcohol treatment in a facility?

The sort of treatment you pick will be influenced by a number of factors, including your medical history, length of prior alcohol use, and frequency of drinking. A residential treatment approach may be the best solution for you if you've been struggling with heavy drinking for a long time.

What are the different types of residential alcohol rehab treatments?

There are three types of residential alcohol rehabilitation programmes: long-term residential, short-term residential, and recovery housing.  

What are the distinctions between these categories?

While each residential treatment's ultimate goal is to maintain sobriety and begin a healthy life, there are significant differences.

Long-term residential therapy focuses on resocialization, which entails learning how to think, behave, interact, and make decisions without the aid of drugs or alcohol. Staff and other patients in treatment are a vital component of the transformation process and support, with treatment lasting anywhere from 6 to 12 months.

Short-term residential therapy is intensive and brief, and it is based on the 12-step approach, which includes AA concepts. It usually lasts 3–6 weeks and is followed by other treatments such as outpatient therapy. Is designed to lower the chances of relapsing once patients leave treatment, with a focus on safe detoxification and intense counselling.

Recovery housing is supervised accommodation that is provided for a brief period of time following a short or long-term residential treatment stay. It focuses on assisting with the transition into ordinary independent life and can teach life skills such as managing personal finances, finding work, and building community connections.
