Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Elkin, NC.

There are 3 separate kinds of mental health treatment, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who need help for a mental health problem might desire an outpatient approach due to their responsibilities or perhaps due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their problem. Most people can still have a normal work or school day and get outpatient mental health treatment with full discretion and privacy.

Outpatient mental health centers are either based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Elkin. The intensity of outpatient mental health care 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 facility will first do a full evaluation of the person's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological evaluation is also a standard procedure, and clinicians and physicians will design a course of treatment that may include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the individual requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug addiction, most outpatient mental health centers are ready to treat this dual diagnosis.
