There are three separate types of mental health treatment, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who require help for a mental health problem may desire an outpatient approach because of their responsibilities or because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their disorder. Most people can still have a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health treatment with complete discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health facilities are either based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Stafford. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from place to place, but can range from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health facility will first do a complete assessment of the person'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 medical staff will come up with a course of care that can include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the individual needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol problem, many outpatient mental health centers are ready to treat such a dual diagnosis.
