An outpatient is a patient who is not hospitalized for one day or more but who visits a hospital, or clinic for treatment. Treatment provided in this manner is also known as ambulatory care.

An inpatient is a patient who is admitted to the hospital and stays overnight or for an indeterminate time, usually several days or weeks. In some cases, like coma and alcohol addictions, patients have been in hospitals for one year or more. Treatment provided in this manner is called inpatient care.

The answer of question in topic really depends on need of patient. And outpatient facility works only when patient is not severely addicted or have undergone with the first few stages of inpatient facilities. If patient is severely addicted and condition reached to dangerous situation than inpatient facility is only the option.

There are many cases where outpatient facility can be recommended. Some of common cases are like when patient is working and have to go office in day time, family members are cooperative and have ample time to take care of patient, the alcohol substance abuse treatment center is near by location of patient’s residence etc. These cases are only considered when patient is lightly addicted to alcoholism.

In cases where patient is moderately addicted and working, then there are provisions available where patient need to stay at alcohol rehab centers in the evenings for few hours or for only for nights. There are provisions available for weekly therapies. But only the thing is, patient should not be severely addicted.

There are number of cases and reasons for recommending inpatient facility. First and foremost reason is that patient get continuous supervision of experts. Inpatient facilities are proven for better positive results. Inpatient facilities not only detoxify the patient body, but also provide psychiatric treatment with help patient fight urge for alcohol. The behavioral treatment is much better in case of inpatient. There are three basic behavioral treatments used for alcohol substance abuse treatment. They are cognitive behavioral therapy, motivation enhancement therapy and famous 12 step facilitation. All three types of behavioral treatments are better taken care in case of inpatient facilities.

If you are very serious about alcohol substance abuse treatment for your loved ones, then don’t look at outpatient kind of care, simply go for inpatient facility, as it is much better than outpatient for better positive results.

There are more advantageous of inpatient facility over outpatient facility. Some of them are like better encouragement for self-empowerment, spiritual feelings, self-management and self-confidence. Those patients who are working and slowly loosing confidence on their work, and treatment is going as outpatient then they needed to stay for more hours with their therapists.

Usually inpatient facilities are costly than outpatient. But you can find out some cheap inpatient facility using some directory like recoverynowtv.com.
