There are 3 different kinds of mental health treatment, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who need help for a mental disorder might want an outpatient option due to their responsibilities or due to the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their issue. Many people can still have a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health treatment with 100% privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health facilities are either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Tar Heel. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from place to place, but can be 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, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual procedure, and clinicians and doctors will design a plan of care that may include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the individual needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug addiction, many outpatient mental health facilities are prepared to handle this dual diagnosis.
