Being sent as an in-patient to a rehab unit for 5 days soon - what to expect

Hi,

I'm 23, male in the UK.

Long story short, I binge drank every other day 30-40 UK Units a session (about a bottle of vodka and a few beers) and did so for around 5-6 years. Want to stop, so made appointment at clinic.

Today I went to an appointment made through our local NHS alcohol service who sent me for a blood test last week. Today the results came back mostly fine apart from one which was my serum level or something. Apparently it should be under 35 and mine was 168 which is apparently pretty bad and means I have fatty liver.

They were going to put me on a community detox but because this value was so high they want to put me in a rehab hospital to make sure my liver is ok and stuff. I have to go in for 5 days, possibly more

Has anyone been on a rehab unit before? What to expect.
