Alcohol causes the deaths of nearly 6,000 people in Ohio every year, and causes untold harm to loved ones and entire communities. There are more than half a million people living with alcohol addiction in Ohio, but only 66,000 a year begin potentially life-saving treatment. Professional alcohol rehab is designed to give you the knowledge and life skills you need for lasting sobriety.
Armada Recovery’s alcohol rehab programs offer individualized care, diverse therapy plans, and ongoing expert support. If you or someone you care about is ready for a fresh start, here’s what you need to know about alcohol rehab:
Alcoholism is a very complex illness, which comprises both a physical dependence and invisible personal struggles. Alcohol detox is the first stage of treatment, but it is just the foundation of recovery. Many people successfully withdraw from alcohol, only to start drinking again later when those invisible issues flare up again down the line.
The aim of alcohol rehab is to first bring those issues to light, even ones that you may not be fully aware of. This is done through different forms of therapy that look at your personal history, life situation, and future hopes and dreams. With expert therapists, you can then learn how to handle the trials and tribulations of life without using alcohol as an escape or a crutch.

Armada Recovery has two alcohol rehab centers in Akron and Dayton. We provide a full spectrum of outpatient rehab therapy, which focuses on every part of your addiction to alcohol. Our team will work with you to build a bespoke rehab plan, with every session tailored to your needs.
While alcohol rehab is led by our expert team, it is important to understand that you are at the heart of your own recovery. This means putting all your energy into every therapy session, being open and honest with your therapists and counselors, and deciding what you want from life. Just some of our most important alcohol rehab therapies include:
This helps familiarize you with the 12-step approach used in recovery meetings like Alcoholics Anonymous. It guides you through ideas like acceptance, accountability, and connection, and the power of shared experiences in recovery. After/during alcohol rehab, we will help to connect you with local support groups, so you can meet other people on the same journey.
CBT teaches you how your thoughts, feelings, and actions all link together. When negative thoughts spiral, you learn how to pause, question them, and decide whether to ignore them or act on them. This is one of the most effective alcohol rehab therapies, because it means drinking no longer becomes an emotional coping mechanism.
DBT focuses on managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It uses mindfulness techniques to help you respond calmly to difficult situations rather than reacting by drinking.
MI focuses on both sides of your feelings: the part of you that wants to change, and the part that is scared to. It helps you to find your own reasons for giving up alcohol, and use them as motivation when doubts creep in or difficult moments threaten to derail your progress.
It is completely normal to feel anxious about rehab, and early sessions can be a little scary. But if you are committed to change and are ready to take back control of your life, our alcohol rehab program will give you everything you need to build the future you want.
Alcohol rehab can have huge benefits, both for you and your family. Some of the biggest things to look forward to include:
While we wish that alcohol rehab were a one-time cure, sobriety requires a lifelong commitment. But Armada Recovery will stay by your side long after you finish your initial rehab program.
First, we will help you build a relapse prevention plan so you are fully prepared to face triggers and challenges that previously caused you to drink. These may include people, places, a stressful job, or even simple lifestyle changes like starting a new hobby to fill the time left by drinking.
You will also have the option to move on to our Partial Hospitalization Program. This is a sober living space for anyone with ongoing cravings or withdrawal symptoms, or who doesn’t quite feel ready for the transition back to everyday home life.
We also have a fantastic Alumni Program where you can stay connected with our staff and all your recovery peers, take part in exclusive events, and always have someone to talk to. As well as our Alumni, we can also help connect you with local Ohio AA and 12-step meetings to provide the connection that is so crucial for staying on the right track after rehab.
