There are three separate types of mental health treatment, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who need help for a mental health problem might desire an outpatient option due to their responsibilities or because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their issue. Many clients can still have a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health care with complete privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health centers are usually based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Vermont. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can vary from place to place, but can range from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health facility will first do a complete evaluation of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual process, and clinicians and medical staff will design a course of care that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the person needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug problem, many outpatient mental health programs are ready to treat this dual diagnosis.
