Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Elmhurst, IL.

There are three different kinds of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some individuals who require help for a mental health problem may want an outpatient approach because of personal obligations or   because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation associated with their issue. Many people can still maintain a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health care with complete privacy and discretion.

Outpatient mental health facilities are usually based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Elmhurst. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from facility to facility, but can be from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health center will first do a full assessment of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard process, and clinicians and physicians will come up with a plan of treatment that may include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the person needing care also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug addiction, most outpatient mental health facilities are prepared to handle this dual diagnosis.
