Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Athens, LA.

There are 3 different kinds of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some individuals who need assistance for a mental health problem may desire an outpatient option due to personal obligations or perhaps because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their problem. Many people can still have a normal work or school day and get outpatient mental health care with full discretion and privacy.

Outpatient mental health facilities are usually based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Athens. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from facility to facility, but can range from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health facility will   do a full assessment of the person's medical history, both physical and mental, which includes their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological evaluation is also a standard process, and clinicians and medical staff will design a course of care that may include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the person requiring care also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug problem, many outpatient mental health programs are ready to handle such a dual diagnosis.
