There are three separate kinds of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some individuals who need help for a mental health issue might want an outpatient approach because of their responsibilities or perhaps due to the stigma they'd like to avoid because of their disorder. Many clients can still have a normal school or work day and get outpatient mental health treatment with complete discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health centers are either based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Guy. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from facility to facility, but can be from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health center will first conduct a complete assessment of the individual's medical history, both physical and mental, which includes their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard procedure, and clinicians and physicians will design a plan of treatment that may include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the client requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol addiction, most outpatient mental health programs are prepared to treat this dual diagnosis.
