There are three separate types of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who need assistance for a mental issue might want an outpatient approach because of their responsibilities or because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation associated with their problem. Many clients can still have a normal work or school day and get outpatient mental health treatment with complete discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health facilities are usually based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Edison. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from center to center, but can range from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health center will conduct a full assessment of the individual's medical history, both physical and mental, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard process, and clinicians and doctors will come up with a course of care that may include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the individual needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol problem, most outpatient mental health programs are prepared to handle this dual diagnosis.
