AlcoholHelp - 888.885.0810
Outpatient rehab is one effective approach to treating alcoholism or an addiction to alcohol. An outpatient rehab program involves therapy, medication, support groups, and relapse-prevention training during the day, after which the patient returns home in the evening. However, outpatient rehab generally does not involve alcohol detox.

Unlike inpatient rehab, outpatient rehab does not require a patient to live full-time at a treatment facility. With outpatient rehab, you can engage with a treatment program on your own schedule. While you make progress toward sobriety, you will be able to continue living at home with your family. If you work a full-time job, you will not have to take a leave of absence and fall behind on your career. If you’re a student, you will not have to leave school and delay your graduation. Outpatient rehab is a possible solution for people who need treatment for alcoholism and cannot break away from their daily responsibilities.
