There are three separate types of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some individuals who require assistance for a mental health issue may want an outpatient option due to personal obligations or due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their problem. Most people can still have a normal work or school day and get outpatient mental health treatment with complete privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health programs are usually based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Alexandria. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from facility to facility, but can range from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health program will do a complete assessment of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard procedure, and clinicians and doctors will design a course of treatment 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 an alcohol or drug addiction, many outpatient mental health facilities are prepared to treat such a dual diagnosis.
