What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient?

They are the same treatment delivered at different intensities, and the intensity is what you are choosing. Withdrawal from alcohol or from benzodiazepines can be medically dangerous, which pushes the choice toward supervised care. Be honest about what is around you at home. It changes the recommendation.

Can I get in today?

Detox beds turn over fastest because the stays are shortest. The gap between deciding and starting is where most people fall away, so a shorter wait has value of its own. Ask what you should do in the meantime, because a good program will have an answer.
