An alcohol rehab is comprised of several distinct alcohol rehabilitation components. When we refer to alcohol rehab, we are referring to a luxury residential alcohol rehabilitation center. In alcohol rehab, the individual resides in the alcohol rehab facility until alcoholism treatment is completed. A person’s length of stay in the alcohol rehab program can last between 3 days to 7 days for alcohol detox and up to 6 weeks for effective alcohol rehab. The time a person spends in alcohol detox or alcohol rehab, depends upon a variety of factors; amount of alcohol consumed, frequency of use, severity of use, medical issues, psychological issues, motivation, drug use etc. The length of stay in alcohol rehab is different for each person, but research shows that people who go on to alcohol rehab after completing alcohol detox, do much better than those that just go through an alcohol detox program.
Detox in the Alcohol Rehab Program: An alcohol detox program is only the first step in recovery from alcoholism or alcohol dependence. Alcohol detox is a process which generally lasts between three days and seven days depending upon the factors mentioned above. The goal of an alcohol detox program is to assist the person by managing their alcohol withdrawal symptoms as they discontinue alcohol use. An effective alcohol detox program will dispense appropriate medications to manage and reduce alcohol withdrawal symptoms. An alcohol detox program should be on a medically monitored alcohol detox unit, complete with 24 hour nursing and a physician trained in the treatment of alcoholism and addiction medicine. In conjunction with the medical services associated with alcohol detox, support staff is also available to assist each person with the mood swings associated with alcohol withdrawal. You should always try to access treatment in an alcohol rehab program that has its own alcohol detox unit, not an alcohol rehab program that has to refer out for alcohol detox. It is not wise to break the continuity of care between alcohol detox and alcohol rehab.

Thank you for helping me find a great rehab. I am really glad I called. Privacy was a big concern for me. Alan was very knowledgeable about all the top-tier rehabs and helped me narrow it down to the ones where I could be sure my privacy would be respected. "
Janet J. "I just want to say thank you. You found me a rehab center where for the first time I was able to get the healing I needed in a quiet, private space without constant attention. All I could hear when I woke up in the morning was the sound of the ocean and the birds. It was exactly the kind of space I needed to heal."
