This is a big one, if you were able to recognize before that you had a problem with your alcohol consumption but couldn’t get it under control on your own, that’s a surefire indication you need outside help to overcome it.
Other indicators to look out for are:
- Skipping activities of all types so you can drink
- Having strong cravings for alcohol
- Finding yourself in dangerous situations like drunk driving
- Needing to drink more to get the same effect
- Experiencing withdrawal when you stop drinking
What Happens When You Go to an Alcohol Rehab?
The first thing that happens is detoxification.
Addiction may be classified as a disorder and to treat the mental side, you must first break the physical dependency and detox is the process of ridding your body of alcohol to do just that.
Once you’ve gotten through withdrawal, it’s time to tackle the underlying cause of your addiction in rehab. Depending on the severity of your addiction that’s either done in residential inpatient treatment Los Angeles or outpatient care.
The difference is that with inpatient care, you live at the facility which eliminates all distractions and allows you to focus squarely on defeating your alcohol use disorder. Outpatient care is meant for less serious addiction and involves coming into rehab for scheduled sessions while you live at home.
