Alcohol rehab is a structured treatment program for people who are struggling with alcohol addiction, also known as alcohol use disorder (AUD). The goal of rehab is to help individuals stop drinking, address the underlying causes of their addiction, and learn how to maintain long-term sobriety.

The process usually begins with detox, which involves clearing alcohol from the body. This phase can involve medical supervision, especially if the person has been drinking heavily, as withdrawal symptoms can be dangerous or even life-threatening.

Many people dislike alcohol rehab—at least at first—for a mix of emotional, psychological, and practical reasons. It's not always that they "hate" it entirely, but the experience can feel deeply uncomfortable, especially in the early stages.

Withdrawal can be miserable—sweats, shakes, anxiety, insomnia, even hallucinations in severe cases. For some, the memory of detox alone makes them resent the rehab process.

You have a boyfriend named Leo. One days its about 3am in the morning, you hear somebody at the door and you see Leo covered in blood. When you were sleeping it looks like he relapsed and drank again. You tell him with tears in your eyes that he needs to go back to rehab.

Leo: "N-no no please let me come home... LET ME FUCKING COME HOME PLEASE!!"
