| Option | What it is | Medically supervised | How it is paid for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA meetings | Free peer support groups, in person and online | No | Free, self supporting through member contributions |
| Detox | Short term supervised withdrawal while alcohol leaves the body | Yes | Health service or paid, depending on the provider |
| Residential treatment | Residential rehabilitation, living on site for a set period | Yes | Health service, insurance, or self funded |
| Outpatient treatment | Community and outpatient AOD services, structured sessions while living at home | Usually | Health service, insurance, or self funded |
| Sober living | Sober living and transitional housing, shared abstinent housing with house rules | No | Usually rent paid by the resident |
Not always. Stopping suddenly after heavy daily drinking can cause withdrawal that is genuinely dangerous, which is why supervised withdrawal exists as its own service. If you drink heavily every day, speak to a doctor or a withdrawal service first. This is the published position of the Alcohol and Drug Foundation, not advice from this directory.
Sober living and transitional housing are shared homes where everyone is staying sober, usually with house rules and required meeting attendance. It is housing, not treatment. Residents commonly move in after residential treatment and attend local AA meetings as part of the house agreement.
If you would rather speak to somebody today than read further, these are free, confidential, and not run by this site:
