Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Dickinson, ND.

There are 3 separate types of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who may need assistance for a mental issue may want an outpatient approach due to their responsibilities or   because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their disorder. Most people can still maintain a normal school or work day and get outpatient mental health care with full privacy and discretion.

Outpatient mental health programs are either found in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Dickinson. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can vary from program to program, but can be from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health program will first do a full assessment of the individual's medical history, both physical and mental, which includes their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing 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 needing care also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug addiction, most outpatient mental health facilities are ready to treat such a dual diagnosis.
