Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Altona, IL.

There are three different types of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who may need help for a mental disorder may want an outpatient approach because of personal obligations or   due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their problem. Many clients can still have a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health care with complete privacy and discretion.

Outpatient mental health facilities are either based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Altona. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from center to center, but can be from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health facility will first conduct a full assessment of the person's medical history, both mental and physical, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological evaluation is also an usual process, and clinicians and medical staff will design a plan 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 an alcohol or drug addiction, most outpatient mental health facilities are ready to treat this dual diagnosis.
