Alcohol addiction treatment represents complex and lingering therapeutic procedure which can be provided stationary, within specialized psychiatric wards, and through partial hospitalization or day care hospitals for alcoholism. A psychiatric hospital day care, or partial hospitalization, represents facility for patients requiring intensive psychiatric treatment within relatively structured environment. While it offers the same variety of treatment procedures as the mental hospital, it differs in that patients are present for part of the day and do not live at the hospital.
