What is a Whisky Rehab?

Whisky rehab refers to the treatment of a whiskey addiction. This is best accessed at a residential whisky rehab. Here, people are able to live in a supportive environment for a period of time that is dedicated to their recovery.

Treatment at a whisky rehab center will begin with a medicated detox, if required. This will involve the prescription of medication to help the body cope with the initial cessation of the whisky.  The aim is to minimise the discomfort during detox and make the process as comfortable as possible. Generally in a whisky rehab center medical professionals will be available or on-call to help during this time if necessary.

Following this, individuals will have access to an intensive psychological and therapeutic programme. This aims to address the causes underlying the dependence, to educate individuals on the nature of their dependence, and to aid the development of effective coping/relapse prevention strategies. This will be delivered in the form of one-to-one therapy, group therapy, workshops and lectures, planned activities outside the treatment centre and reflection activities, amongst others. Most whiskey rehab centers will also offer holistic and relaxation therapies, such as reflexology, acupuncture and yoga.

Residential rehab clinics will be able to cater to a number of substance addictions. These include alcohol and benzodiazepines, for which a medicated detox is often a necessity, and heroin, cannabis, cocaine and prescription medications, amongst others.

When should someone be admitted to a rehab center for whisky addiction?

The treatment offered at whisky rehab centers is necessary for people who feel that their whisky addiction has or is getting out of hand. This is especially the case if someone is physically dependent to whisky. Generally a woman has to drink 70 units and a man 100 units of whisky in a week to experience physical withdrawal symptoms, such as shaking, sweating and nausea. In a 70cl bottle of whisky there are typically 30 units, and in a litre bottle this increased to 40. Therefore, if you suspect you or a loved one needs to access whisky addiction rehab, then call us now. We can help you find whisky rehab centers that can cater to your needs.

How long can it take to rehab from whisky?

The minimum recommended time to detox from whisky in whisky rehab centers is 7 to 10 days. However, in order to fully benefit from the therapeutic and psychological support available at whisky addiction rehab centres, a minimum of a four week programme should be accessed.
