Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Story City, IA.

There are three different kinds of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some individuals who require help for a mental health problem may want an outpatient option due to personal obligations or perhaps because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation associated with their problem. Many people can still maintain a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health treatment with complete privacy and discretion.

Outpatient mental health centers are either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Story City. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can be different from program to program, but can range from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health facility will   conduct a complete assessment of the person's medical history, both physical and mental, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual procedure, and clinicians and medical staff will design a plan of treatment that can include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the person requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug addiction, most outpatient mental health centers are ready to treat such a dual diagnosis.
