There are three different kinds of mental health treatment, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some individuals who may need assistance for a mental health issue may want an outpatient approach due to their responsibilities or due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their issue. Most clients can still have a normal school or work day and get outpatient mental health care with complete discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health centers are either based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Nome. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can be different from program to program, but can be from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health facility will do a complete evaluation of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual procedure, and clinicians and physicians will come up with a plan of treatment that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the individual needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol problem, most outpatient mental health centers are prepared to treat this dual diagnosis.
