There are three different types of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some individuals who require help for a mental issue may want an outpatient approach 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 receive outpatient mental health care with 100% privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health programs are usually found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Sterling. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from place to place, but can be from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health center will do a full evaluation of the client's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual process, and clinicians and physicians will come up with a course of treatment that may include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the individual requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug problem, many outpatient mental health centers are prepared to handle this dual diagnosis.
