Many people enjoy a glass of wine or a beer from time to time. But for some, that occasional glass of wine becomes a nightly bottle of wine, and maybe eventually much more than that. If you're struggling with alcohol use disorder, you may feel ashamed and that you need to hide how much you drink. But reaching out for help is exactly what you need to put your life back in order. Our Palm Springs alcohol rehab center offers compassionate and professional care in your local area. Learn more about our inpatient treatment program.
What is Inpatient Alcohol Rehab Treatment?
How do you know if you are dealing with alcohol use disorder and in need of addiction treatment for alcohol? If you struggle to control how much you drink, even though you've tried to cut back, that is usually the number one symptom of an alcohol problem. You may find yourself craving alcohol or choosing to drink even when the situation doesn't warrant it, such as before driving or swimming.
Other common signs that it's time to get help for alcohol use include:
- Drinking is causing trouble in your personal and professional relationships
- You need to drink more to get the same effects from alcohol
- You're spending most of your time drinking or thinking about your next drink
- You're experiencing symptoms such as shaky hands or nausea when you haven't had a drink for a while.
Treatment for alcohol use disorder is not one-size-fits-all, just as the condition itself isn't one-size-fits-all. While one person may be able to achieve and maintain sobriety following an outpatient or 12-step treatment plan, many others will benefit from care at residential drug rehabilitation centers.
During alcohol rehab at an inpatient treatment center, you stay at the facility 24 hours a day and receive care anytime you need it. The ultimate goal of treatment is to break the stranglehold alcohol has on you while addressing any co-occurring conditions and ensuring you remain safe and cared for at all times.

When is Residential Alcohol Rehab Necessary?
More than half of the adult population in California drinks alcohol. However, not everyone who drinks develops alcohol use disorder. An even smaller percentage requires inpatient treatment.
How do you know if residential drug rehab for alcoholism is right for you? It may be the right treatment option if you've tried other therapies in the past without success. For example, if you've gone to a 12-step program but haven't seen success, or you've been working with a counselor on an outpatient basis but are still struggling.
The severity of your alcoholism can also determine whether inpatient treatment is the right option. Depending on how long you've been using alcohol and how much you drink on a daily basis, quitting cold turkey, without medical support and supervision, may not be advisable. You may need a team of medical professionals to supervise you during the detox process, which would take place in an inpatient treatment facility.
Even if you don't need to undergo a lengthy detox process, you may still benefit from residential care. This is particularly the case if your current living situation will not support or benefit your recovery. For example, you may live with a partner who drinks and will continue to do so, or you may not have a stable home life at the moment. Inpatient care provides a respite and an opportunity to rebuild your life while overcoming alcohol use disorder.
Residential Alcohol Treatment Care: What to Expect
Your care begins the minute you contact our Palm Springs alcohol rehab center for support. From the minute you arrive, here's what you can expect.
Evaluation Process & Post-Detox
Remember, treatment for alcohol use disorder isn't one-size-fits-all. To put together a custom treatment plan for you, we first perform a thorough evaluation and analysis. We'll ask you about your drinking history and pattern, including how much you currently drink. We'll also learn more about your goals and hopes and ask you to describe any symptoms you're experiencing.
Medically supervised detox may be part of your treatment plan. If that's the case, we'll supervise your detox and help you withdraw from alcohol in a way that's as comfortable as possible. We provide medication as needed to keep you safe and reduce the risk of relapse during or immediately after detox.
Once you've completed detox, you move to the main residential treatment facility and begin your personalized treatment plan.
Day-to-Day
What your daily life looks like during your inpatient treatment depends on your specific needs. Generally, you can expect a combination of individual and group therapy sessions. We'll work with you to help you identify and respond to triggers and to cope with any negative emotions that previously would have led you to drink.
As you near the end of your treatment, we'll focus on building relapse prevention skills so that you feel confident about returning to the world and maintaining your sobriety.
Duration of Stay
The length of your stay in our residential treatment facility depends on how you respond to treatment and the severity of your initial condition. Many patients find that a program between 30 and 90 days long suits their needs. However, some benefit from a shorter program and others from a stay longer than 90 days.
We'll plan for an initial length of stay during your evaluation and will make adjustments to the schedule as needed during your treatment.
