When clients and healthcare providers think about alcohol detox programs, they should consider the next step after it. In most cases, this is a form of alcohol rehab. However, some comprehensive programs combine both the detox process and further addiction rehab treatment.

When choosing the addiction treatment program to transition into after undergoing an alcohol detox program, it helps to identify what your specific needs are and compare that to what’s currently available within your budget. Mitigating factors would be your personal finances or your health insurance. In the process, you may want to consider -

Age-specific programs

Gender-specific programs

Inpatient vs. outpatient programs

Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs)

Trauma-informed programs

Luxury programs.

For the most part, the detox team’s recommendation can be your starting point. You may also need to make a decision on whether or not you want to overcome your alcohol addiction by using FDA-approved prescription medication.
