There are 3 separate types of mental health treatment, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who may need help for a mental health problem may desire an outpatient option because of personal obligations or due to the stigma they'd like to avoid because of their problem. Many people can still maintain a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health care with 100% discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health programs are usually found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Hickory. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from center to center, but can be from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health facility will do a full evaluation of the person's medical history, both mental and physical, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual process, and clinicians and doctors will design a course of care that can include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the person needing care also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug addiction, most outpatient mental health centers are prepared to treat such a dual diagnosis.
