Why You Should Choose Inpatient Alcohol Rehab
You might wonder why you should subject yourself to inpatient alcohol rehab if it means giving up your life for a while. Some patients are enrolled for 30 days, while others may spend up to 90 days in rehab. That might sound like an awfully long time to give up everything else in your life, but when it means the difference between life and death, the choice is quite simple.
Inpatient alcohol rehab has been proven to be successful in many studies. Not only do they allow you to focus on your treatment 24/7, but they provide you with around the clock access to medical attention, should it be necessary. This is the most crucial during the first few days when you are going through the detox period of rehab. Your body and organs will essentially go into a state of shock, which may require some medical assistance to ensure your safety during the process.
Once you are through the detox period of rehab, your mind will take much longer to recover. Detox can last up to 7 days in some cases, whereas the mental aspect of rehab can take months. Different inpatient centers offer different methods of overcoming this part of addiction; a few options include group therapy, individual counseling, alternative treatments and lifestyle activities. Regardless of the method of treatment that you choose, the most important thing is that you stay at inpatient treatment center and get the help you need. What do you think about inpatient rehab? Did you try it?
