Alcohol always seems to make my depression really kick in, I'm sorry you are feeling like this. Start with a day, you can set and meet your goals.
Drinking just makes the depression worse but that never stopped me either. I've needed hospital twice, jail, and medical detox to quit. I can't recommend the latter more. Rehab is great but they usually don't help much on the detox if you're body is very physically dependent like mine. I'm not sure what you mean by "dual rehab" but medical detox places are everywhere and it just takes 3-4 days of being pretty much hospitalized, but I just slept a whole bunch from the meds they give you for the DTs and you feel safe as I thought I was gonna die in jail. Anyhew, medical detox if possible then do a the rehab. Just something to consider. They actually want you to stop for a day before admittance but I certainly didn't. I drank right up to being admitted 🤷. Good luck!!
Id say go to the hospital, tell them you are withdrawing from alcohol. They will help you. And try everything to get into a rehab! I know that’s not easy, but you can do it!!
Don’t give up
