Alcohol addiction is a powerful disease that, without proper and timely treatment, is likely to get worse. Drinking can quickly turn from something you feel you have control over to something you don’t, indicating an addiction. Over time, it can become harder and harder to stop drinking, especially when difficult withdrawal symptoms occur.
Comprehensive alcohol addiction treatment at Bedrock Recovery Center provides the care and support necessary to stop drinking and maintain sobriety. This includes a trauma-informed approach with evidence-based therapies to get at the roots of addiction and plant seeds for a healthy future.
Detox at BRC typically lasts about one week, while our residential program lasts about 30 days. In addition to attending frequent group and individual therapy sessions, peer support meetings, and psychoeducation classes, you will also have time for wellness and recreation activities like yoga, sports, movie nights, and more.
Inpatient Alcohol Addiction Treatment At Bedrock
People with moderate to severe alcohol addiction can come to our world-class treatment center and live here for a period of time, receiving 24/7 access to medical and clinical care from our team of compassionate healthcare professionals. Inpatient treatment sets you up for success in recovery by providing a substance-free, supportive environment.
Here at Bedrock, we recognize that every person with alcohol use disorder is experiencing something different. Some people have a dual diagnosis, many have unresolved trauma, and others are seeking treatment for a second or third time.
Our program starts with a full evaluation and assessment to determine your care needs and your personal goals in recovery. For example, if you are currently experiencing alcohol withdrawal symptoms, or are unable to stop drinking due to these symptoms, our medical detox program can help.
Following detox, further treatment for alcohol addiction may include medication-assisted treatment (MAT), various behavioral therapies in individual and group settings, family psychoeducation therapy, 12-step meetings or other peer recovery support, aftercare planning, and more.
Key Aspects Of Our Program
BRC’s alcohol addiction treatment program follows widely recognized standards of effective treatment, including a three-part approach to lasting sobriety. We begin with alcohol detox, provide further evidence-based treatments, and include aftercare planning.
Medical Detox
Most people with alcohol addiction start their recovery journey with detoxification, an often-critical step in the treatment process.
This is because alcohol dependence causes withdrawal symptoms when a person tries to stop drinking on their own. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be severe and even life-threatening, including hallucinations, confusion, and seizures.
At BRC, you will be monitored by medical professionals to make sure that you stay safe and as comfortable as possible during withdrawal. This may include by providing medications or other medical care. Some people may begin receiving therapy during detox, while others may need to wait until detox is complete.
Further Inpatient Treatment
After detox, your treatment plan may include transitioning to our inpatient treatment program. Here, a wide variety of evidence-based treatment methods are available along with opportunities for participating in wellness and recreation activities.
Our most popular treatment options include:
- MAT, using medications to curb cravings and otherwise prevent relapse
- Behavioral therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), to address unhelpful beliefs, manage emotions, and develop good habits of thought and action
- Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or other peer recovery group meetings to build community and gain perspective from others facing alcohol addiction
BRC’s medical and clinical staff can also identify and diagnose co-occurring disorders and provide the appropriate care, also called dual diagnosis treatment. A dual diagnosis is when someone has both an addiction and another mental health disorder. Common co-occurring disorders with alcohol addiction include depression and anxiety disorders.
We also offer a wide variety of wellness and recreation activities to support the development of healthy habits and provide opportunities for rest and relaxation.
These include:
- yoga
- meditation
- group exercise classes, such as POUND and Zumba
- journaling
- movie nights
- game nights
- karaoke
- sports
- ping-pong
Preparation For Ongoing Care
The final step is to prepare you for continuing to strengthen your sobriety once you leave us.
Our aftercare coordinator will work with you and your care team to ensure that you have the right support structures in place. For some people, this may involve scheduling therapy appointments; for others, it may mean arranging sober living accommodations. Our alumni program provides an opportunity to stay connected and involved with the BRC community.
