About Kurihama Medical and Addiction Center
Kurihama is the largest medical center in Japan offering both inpatient and outpatient treatment for alcohol addiction. Kurihama provides gender and age specific care. For men under 65 years of age care consists of 3 weeks in the internal medicine section where they receive general testing and therapy such as managing alcohol withdrawal symptoms, endoscopic tests of the upper and lower digestive system, and an MRI scan. After medical detox and evaluation, patients participate in group therapy, primarily cognitive behavior group therapy (CBT) and group occupational therapy for 6 weeks. The inpatient program for women typically lasts around 10 weeks and is geared towards the specific needs of women. All groups are closed to women only and outpatient services are also available for them in need.
The large hospital is south of Tokyo, in Kanagawa Prefecture. The buildings take up 24,000 square meters with over 200 beds and overlook the sea. As the Japanese National Center for Alcohol-related Problems, the Center conducts extensive research and survey activities spanning from epidemiology to basic research in partnership with universities and other research institutions.
