There are three different kinds of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some individuals who may need help for a mental health problem may want an outpatient approach due to personal obligations or perhaps due to the stigma they'd like to avoid because of their problem. Many clients can still have a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health treatment with complete privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health facilities are either based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Jacksonville. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from facility to facility, but can range from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health center will first do a complete evaluation of the person's medical history, both physical and mental, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard process, and clinicians and doctors will come up with a plan of care that can include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the individual requiring care also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug addiction, many outpatient mental health centers are prepared to handle such a dual diagnosis.
