Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Park Ridge, IL.

There are three separate types of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who require assistance for a mental health problem may want an outpatient option because of their responsibilities or   because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation associated with their issue. Many clients can still have a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health treatment with complete discretion and privacy.

Outpatient mental health centers are usually found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Park Ridge. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different 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 complete assessment of the client's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual procedure, and clinicians and doctors will design a course of treatment that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the client needing care also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug problem, most outpatient mental health facilities are prepared to treat such a dual diagnosis.
