What is out-patient alcohol rehab?

There are basically two basic types of addiction treatment and recovery programs that treat alcohol abuse and dependency. On the one hand, there is the residential or in-patient program, which requires the client to take up full-time residency in the facility until it is time for them to return to society. On the other hand, there is the out-patient alcohol rehab program, which allows the client to participate in their daily duties and then return home in the evenings.
