Alcohol Rehab in Las Vegas - Evidence-Based Treatment

Comprehensive alcohol rehabilitation with CBT, relapse prevention, trauma therapy, and life skills development. Our Nevada-licensed therapists help you build lasting sobriety after detox.

Alcohol Rehabilitation in Las Vegas

After completing detox, rehab teaches you how to maintain sobriety for life. At Better Choice Treatment Center, our alcohol rehab program combines evidence-based therapies, relapse prevention strategies, and holistic healing in a luxury residential setting.

Detox removes alcohol from your body—but that's just the beginning. Alcohol addiction is a disease that affects your brain, emotions, relationships, and entire life. Rehab addresses the underlying causes of addiction, teaches healthy coping skills, and rebuilds the life that alcohol destroyed. Our comprehensive residential program provides the time, support, and therapeutic intensity needed to achieve lasting sobriety. Located in Las Vegas, Nevada, we serve clients from across the country seeking the highest standard of addiction treatment.

Why Alcohol Rehab Is Essential After Detox

Completing detox is an incredible accomplishment, but research shows that detox alone has a relapse rate exceeding 90% within the first year. Why? Because detox only addresses physical dependence—it doesn't treat the psychological, emotional, and behavioral patterns that drive addiction. Without rehab, you return to the same environment, relationships, and triggers that fueled your drinking, with no tools to handle them differently.

What You Gain From Rehab:

  • Understanding your addiction - Learn how alcohol hijacked your brain's reward system and why willpower alone isn't enough
  • Identifying triggers - Recognize the people, places, emotions, and situations that lead to cravings and drinking
  • Coping strategies - Replace drinking with healthy ways to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life challenges
  • Relapse prevention - Develop a concrete plan for what to do when cravings hit or when you're in high-risk situations
  • Healing relationships - Repair damage to family and friendships, rebuild trust, and create a sober support network
  • Life skills - Learn how to manage emotions, communicate effectively, set boundaries, and live independently without alcohol

What Happens Without Rehab:

  • Return to same environment, relationships, and stressors that fueled drinking
  • No tools to handle cravings, triggers, or difficult emotions without alcohol
  • Underlying trauma, mental health issues, and life problems remain unaddressed
  • Isolation and lack of sober support network
  • 90%+ relapse rate within first year after detox only
  • Cycle of detox → relapse → detox continues indefinitely

The Research Is Clear

Studies consistently show that completing a 30-90 day residential rehab program increases one-year sobriety rates from less than 10% to 60-70%. The longer you stay in treatment, the better your outcomes. A 90-day program produces significantly better results than 30 days. Our physicians and therapists work with you to determine the optimal length of treatment based on your individual situation, addiction severity, and recovery progress.

Our Evidence-Based Treatment Approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is the gold standard for addiction treatment. This therapy helps you identify the negative thought patterns and beliefs that drive drinking ("I can't relax without alcohol," "I deserve a drink after a hard day"). You learn to challenge these thoughts and replace them with healthier perspectives.

In CBT sessions, you'll:

  • • Identify your personal drinking triggers
  • • Learn the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
  • • Develop practical coping strategies for cravings
  • • Practice refusal skills for high-risk situations
  • • Build a relapse prevention plan

Group Therapy & 12-Step Integration

Recovery happens in community. Group therapy allows you to connect with others who understand what you're going through, share experiences, and hold each other accountable. You'll discover you're not alone and learn from those further along in recovery.

Group programming includes:

  • • Daily process groups facilitated by licensed therapists
  • • 12-Step education and AA meeting attendance
  • • Relapse prevention groups
  • • Life skills and recovery workshops
  • • Peer support and accountability partnerships

Family Therapy & Support

Alcohol addiction damages relationships with the people who matter most. Family therapy helps repair that damage, educates loved ones about addiction, and builds a support system that strengthens your recovery rather than enabling your drinking.

Family services include:

  • • Weekly family therapy sessions (in-person or virtual)
  • • Family education about alcoholism and recovery
  • • Communication skills and boundary setting
  • • Healing from trauma and rebuilding trust
  • • Family weekend intensive programs

Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Addressing Mental Health

Over 50% of people with alcohol use disorder also have co-occurring mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. Often people drink to self-medicate these underlying conditions. At Better Choice, our psychiatric team provides comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment to address both addiction and mental health simultaneously.

Mental Health Services Include:

  • Psychiatric evaluation within 24 hours of admission
  • Medication management for depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc.
  • Trauma-focused therapy (EMDR, trauma-informed CBT)
  • Weekly psychiatrist appointments throughout treatment
  • Medication adjustments based on response and side effects

Why Dual Diagnosis Treatment Works:

If you only treat the alcohol addiction but ignore the depression, anxiety, or trauma, you'll return to drinking to cope with those untreated symptoms. Conversely, if you only treat the mental health condition but ignore the addiction, the substance use will continue to worsen your psychiatric symptoms.

Integrated treatment addresses both conditions simultaneously, leading to better outcomes for both addiction recovery and mental health stabilization.
