There are three different kinds of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who need help for a mental disorder might desire an outpatient option due to personal obligations or due to the possible tarnishing of their reputation associated with their disorder. Most people can still maintain a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health care with complete privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health facilities are either based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Chatham. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can vary from center to center, but can range from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health center will first conduct a complete evaluation of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual process, and clinicians and physicians will come up with a plan of treatment that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the person needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol problem, many outpatient mental health programs are ready to handle this dual diagnosis.
