There are three separate types of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some individuals who require help for a mental problem may desire an outpatient option due to personal obligations or due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their issue. Many people can still have a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health care with complete discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health centers are usually based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Lafayette. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from facility to facility, but can range from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health center will conduct a complete evaluation of the client's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard process, and clinicians and medical staff will design a course of treatment that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the client needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug problem, many outpatient mental health facilities are ready to treat this dual diagnosis.
