A lot of talking. A lot of trying to help you understand why you need to drink and why you do not have to drink
Some places do aversion therapy, but it is of marginal results
It depends on where you go. I know the program that helped my friend become sober had them doing the traditional one-on-one counseling to address the underlying issues that lead to their drinking. Group counseling to help them recognize all the triggers that make the subconcious crave drinking. They also had tons of activities that helped them to learn better ways of enjoying life sober as well as theraputic techniques such as art classes, massages, horse riding, going to the gym, swimming at the pool, etc. etc. Anyway, I mention all those because I have seen them continue many of those activities now that they are back home and it seems to have brought a lot of the happiness back into their life that we had seen drinking steal from them. My friend went to their center called Sundance http://www.journeyrecoverycenters.com/
I wish you the best of luck no matter where you go, you deserve it!
