In order to work through and overcome alcoholism, evidence-based treatments, therapies, lifestyle changes and planning must take place. Brought together to create an addiction treatment plan, the process can be completed through various rehab options.
Inpatient rehab for alcohol addiction is one of those options, standing as the most successful. Ultimately offering a residential service, inpatient rehab allows you to check into rehab, experience 24-hour care, and complete a focused and progressive plan.
Treatment for alcohol use disorders can also be worked through via outpatient rehab. This type of treatment is flexible and funded by the NHS. Yet best suited for mild cases, or early diagnoses, outpatient treatment is less effective whilst treating complex, challenging and long-term alcoholism.
Understandably, client needs, experiences and circumstances differ, requiring various types of treatment and rehabilitation. Here at Nova Recovery, we however promote inpatient rehab for alcohol addiction, due to the level of personalisation, care, reliability, and effectiveness that it delivers.

Inpatient rehab is a residential service that is offered via private treatment facilities. It allows for all treatments, recovery steps and additional services to be completed whilst checking into an alcohol rehab clinic.
Securing inpatient treatment on the NHS is now very unlikely. Instead, inpatient treatment is offered through private rehab, delivering imminent admissions, high-quality care, and stronger success rates.
The entirety of a treatment plan can be focused on and worked through with progress in mind. Inpatient rehab offers a comprehensive recovery process, working on everything from alcohol withdrawal and mental health recovery to post-rehab planning.
Although inpatient rehab for alcohol addiction must be paid for, CQC standards of medical care, emotional support, and rehabilitation guidance are expected. Bringing together state of the art treatment facilities, intensive treatment plans, around the clock care and personalised steps, residential rehab is a recommended first step, towards sobriety.
Whilst alcoholism cannot be cured, it can be treated, managed, and overcome, to the greatest levels via inpatient rehab.
Scotland Based Mental Health & Addiction Treatment Providers
Key offerings available include:
So what are you waiting for?
Begin your journeyInpatient treatment plans offer a comprehensive journey through addiction recovery. That journey involves various treatments, therapies, recovery commitments and planning sessions.
Alcohol detoxification programmes are offered through inpatient rehab. Providing a medically assisted programme, alcohol withdrawal can be aimed for with assurance. 24/7 medical care is available for all clients whilst working through expected withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
Detoxing from alcohol is essential, in order to eliminate an internal build-up. Alcohol detoxification is the first step of rehab, offering a clean slate.
Some clients will also benefit from alcohol detoxification medications, which are prescribed to manage symptoms and reduce future relapse risks. Clients are assessed and treated on a one-to-one basis, meaning that prescriptions will only be made where necessary.
Therapy sessions are inclusive of inpatient treatment. Sessions are delivered through individual, family, and group sessions, helping to manage the psychological symptoms of alcoholism.
Alcohol addiction is an emotionally testing disease to live with. It can deter mental health, damage relationships, adapt outlooks and reduce self-awareness. A range of therapy sessions will be promoted to regulate emotions, improve coping and rebuild the damages of alcohol use disorders.
Addiction therapies include:
Poor mental health is a direct symptom of alcohol addiction. Symptoms can make it harder to recover and increase the risks of a dual diagnosis. Mental health treatments, such as talking therapies, wellness sessions and medical prescriptions are offered to manage symptoms.
Through inpatient rehab, a recovery-driven plan can be worked through, focusing on influences, wellbeing, and relapse prevention.
Holistic therapies are safe and target all-round recovery. A holistic approach to treatment will be incorporated into inpatient rehab, offering additional services such as mindfulness, meditation, spirituality, and alternative therapies.
Alcohol can significantly suppress physical health and wellbeing. It can cause malnourishment, deficiencies, and unpleasant side effects. To rebuild the body and to develop healthy intentions, wellness and nutritional plans are offered through inpatient rehab.
Plans are led by specialist coaches, nutritionists, and personal trainers to improve relationships with food, exercise, and movement.
Understanding addiction, personal triggers and risks of relapse are imperative in order to manage the condition. Educational sessions are delivered through alcohol rehab to boost awareness and confidence whilst working towards long-term recovery.
Alcohol addiction is a complicated, highly stigmatised brain disease. With greater awareness, myths can be overlooked whilst focusing on effective recovery steps and coping techniques. Recommendations on how to lead a sober lifestyle will be made, helping to ease post-rehab life and improve the chances of remaining sober.
By checking into and completing inpatient rehab for alcohol addiction, family involvement can be opted for. Family visits, therapy sessions and educational workshops can be arranged.
Reasonably it can be difficult to pause everyday life to complete rehab. Visits can help to bridge the gap, whilst treatments can assist with rebuilding relationships, trust, and mutual understanding.
Planning is also focused on through residential rehab. In order to remain sober, the tools of recovery must be carried forward. Planning sessions are designed to incorporate such tools into everyday life, helping to prevent relapse and work through any risks.
Relapse prevention planning will also be focused on through aftercare and 12-step recovery plans, which are inclusive of inpatient rehab.
There are other rehab options to consider. It is important to make sure that the most suitable rehab option is selected to accommodate your needs and to work around your circumstances.
An outpatient rehab is an additional option, offered via and funded by the NHS. It is delivered on an outpatient basis, meaning that regular visits will be made to complete treatment, followed by a return home for independent recovery.
High-quality medical care, ongoing support and addiction treatment is offered. Yet there are risks to outpatient treatment, from its average length of 6-12-months to the level of self-help that’s required.
Outpatient treatment is mostly recommended for clients who are experiencing early signs of alcoholism, who have mild symptoms, or who cannot complete inpatient rehab with sustainability in mind. Inpatient rehab is however more effective, offers a progressive and comprehensive recovery process, and provides full direction towards sobriety.
There are many benefits linked to inpatient rehab. Firstly, inpatient rehab offers an indefinite escape from alcohol. A safe, controlled, and positive environment will be maintained, helping clients relax, focus, and avoid triggers. This level of control cannot be guaranteed through outpatient treatment, due to external influences.
Secondly, choosing inpatient rehab will speed up the recovery process. Whilst effort must still be invested, and whilst at least a 30 -day process must be completed within a treatment facility, efficient results can be expected.
The admissions process is also quick, helping to begin the process with urgency. Outpatient treatment is a much longer process. Whilst flexible and suitable for some, it will not deliver a time-sensitive and urgent treatment plan and will usually begin with an NHS waiting list.
Thirdly, 24/7 medical care, advice and support is offered through inpatient rehab for alcohol addiction. A reassuring experience can be expected whilst working through any challenges, such as withdrawal symptoms. Immediate relapse risks can be reduced, whilst experiencing one-to-one care and compassion.
Lastly, residential rehab programmes are personalised and offer a comprehensive recovery process. Additional treatments, techniques and services can be involved to improve recovery rates, adoption, and wellbeing.
Reasonably, inpatient rehab will not be for every client. It is less affordable than outpatient treatment and will disrupt everyday life. Yet committing it will offer a transformational process, helping you recover over the coming weeks/months.
Residential addiction treatment is a distraction-free, progressive offering. The average plan can be completed in 4 weeks.
Depending on personal needs and progress, inpatient rehab can be extended to last a number of months. For some clients, additional issues will need to be addressed and worked through in order to comfortably transition back to everyday life. Inpatient rehab can support this by prolonging residential services.
Combatting alcoholism through a quick-fix approach will be impossible, as recovery will continue as a long-term focus. Yet inpatient rehab offers an efficient start to the process, helping recovering addicts reach and remain sober.
Aftercare is inclusive of inpatient rehab, acting as a post-rehab step. It helps to bridge the gap between residential recovery and everyday recovery.
Our aftercare plans at Nova Recovery offer access to local support groups, one-to-one therapy sessions, additional treatments, regular check-ins, and 12-step recovery plans. Services are offered for 12 months, helping to strengthen early recovery.
Adjusting to a new lifestyle and routine can be tough after being controlled by habits. Aftercare services begin as soon as you leave rehab, in place to promote healthy intentions, reduce relapse risks and offer emotional and peer support.
Finding the best inpatient rehab should start by understanding and prioritising your personal needs. You should consider factors such as your budget, your location, your availability, and the complexity of your alcohol problems.
You should then consider a number of inpatient rehab clinics that can accommodate your needs and offer a treatment plan which can benefit your recovery. Considering what’s important to you will make sure that your experience can be positive and that your expectations can be met.
Considering a medically accredited and CQC registered rehab clinic is encouraged, opting for a clinic with high success rates is recommended, and selecting a treatment facility that is private and suitable is promoted.
At Nova Recovery we run a private addiction recovery hospital, offering inpatient rehab for alcohol addiction. Professional and specialist services are delivered from our peaceful and equipped treatment facility. Reach out to experience the expected benefits of inpatient rehab whilst working through alcoholism.
