Alcohol causes one of the most potentially dangerous withdrawal syndromes. Delirium tremens is a possible outcome of alcohol withdrawal that becomes more likely to occur every time you go through withdrawal from alcohol. As such, it is best to be in a facility where you’ll receive 24-hour medical attention and supervision. Another reason to seek inpatient treatment is that alcohol is one of the most prevalent and readily available drugs of abuse. When you’re trying to quit and feeling vulnerable, it’s helpful to be in a situation where you’re separated from alcohol.
