How Do You Find An Inpatient Alcohol Treatment Program?
If you have a serious drinking problem and need intensive help, an inpatient treatment program may be the vehicle you need to steer you onto the road to recovery. Discuss your options with your doctor, therapist or other medical provider, and ask him or her to recommend a few appropriate local inpatient programs. Determine whether you need a specialized program that can also treat drug addictions or psychiatric or physical illness along with your drinking problem. Check with your local hospital to learn about inpatient programs it has that would meet special needs. Call those programs that interest you to see if they are currently accepting clients.
