Treatment can last from weeks to months, depending on individual needs and the severity of the addiction. For more information, please contact your mental health provider or, if you are in Texas, schedule an appointment with Mid Cities Psychiatry.
Hello! Thank you for your question! Alcohol treatment duration really depends on several factors. There are many different types of treatment for alcohol addiction. You can either complete an outpatient treatment program which could take anywhere from 12 weeks to 6 months. Or you could complete a residential program which could take anywhere from 28 days to 12 weeks. for alcohol addiction, most of the time you might start with an inpatient hospitalization stay, to stabilize before entering into a treatment program. It is usually best to seek guidance from a mental health professional who will be part of your treatment plan.
