Medical detox will put you under the watchful eye of a medical team when you experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. There is inpatient treatment such as going to therapy to learn how to take action to stay sober. There are executive rehabs that will work with people who cannot afford to take time off of work. These places offer business supplies, privacy, and meeting space. There is also luxury rehabs where you will be in a spa-like setting with educational opportunities and your own private suite. There are 12 Step programs like Narcotics Anonymous where it is run by peers like you sharing their stories and meeting up with a sponsor to better help them. If you feel like you cannot take time off to live in a facility, you can go to an outpatient facility a few times a week where you will get access to services in most rehabs and be able to go home by the end of the day.
