There are 3 different kinds of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who may need assistance for a mental disorder may want an outpatient option because of their responsibilities or due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their disorder. Most clients can still maintain a normal work or school day and get outpatient mental health care with 100% discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health facilities are usually found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Norwalk. The intensity of outpatient mental health care 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 do a full evaluation of the individual's medical history, both physical and mental, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard process, and clinicians and physicians will design a course of treatment that can include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the person requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug addiction, many outpatient mental health centers are prepared to treat this dual diagnosis.
