Such addicts are subjected to rehabilitation programs varying from 3 months to 6 months. They are provided with an entirely different environment of love and care.

First step of alcohol rehabilitation is alcohol intervention in which addicts are informed about their situation through non-critical and non-judgmental process. This motivates the addicts to seek help and the process is continued by alcohol detox. This is the process of eliminating the addictive substances from the body. This also involves readjustments of mental and physical nature of the addict through yoga, meditation and similar methods.

Self-help group meetings with or without 12-step model of recovery are also included in this part. This focuses on sharing the experiences and hopes of recovery by the members of rehabilitation centre.
Whatever be the method, the thing is that how long a person keeps out of alcohol, till that he continues as a sober.
