There are three separate types of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who need help for a mental health issue may want an outpatient approach because of their responsibilities or due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their disorder. Many clients can still maintain a normal work or school day and get outpatient mental health treatment with full discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health centers are either based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in East Ellijay. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can vary from facility to facility, but can be from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health program will first conduct a full assessment of the client's medical history, both physical and mental, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard process, and clinicians and physicians will design a course of treatment that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the client requiring care also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug addiction, many outpatient mental health facilities are ready to handle this dual diagnosis.
