There are three different kinds of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who need help for a mental health disorder may want an outpatient option due to personal obligations or due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their disorder. Most clients can still have a normal school or work day and get outpatient mental health treatment with 100% privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health programs are either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Port Jefferson. 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 facility will first conduct a complete evaluation of the individual's medical history, both physical and mental, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological evaluation is also an usual procedure, and clinicians and physicians will design a plan of treatment that may include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the client needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol addiction, most outpatient mental health programs are ready to treat such a dual diagnosis.
