There are three separate kinds of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some individuals who may need help for a mental health problem may want an outpatient option because of personal obligations or perhaps due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their disorder. Many people can still maintain a normal work or school day and get outpatient mental health care with full discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health facilities are usually based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Santa Cruz. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment 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 program will first do a full assessment of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological evaluation is also a standard process, and clinicians and medical staff will come up with a plan of treatment that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the client requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol addiction, most outpatient mental health facilities are ready to handle such a dual diagnosis.
