Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Petaluma, CA.

There are three separate kinds of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who require assistance for a mental health problem may want an outpatient option because of personal obligations or   because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their disorder. Most clients can still have a normal work or school day and get outpatient mental health care with complete privacy and discretion.

Outpatient mental health programs are usually found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Petaluma. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can be different from facility to facility, but can range from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health facility will first conduct a complete assessment of the person's medical history, both mental and physical, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual process, and clinicians and physicians will design a course of care that may include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the client needing care also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug addiction, many outpatient mental health facilities are ready to treat such a dual diagnosis.
