There are three different kinds of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who may need help for a mental problem may want an outpatient option because of personal obligations or perhaps due to the stigma they'd like to avoid because of their issue. Most clients can still have a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health care with complete privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health facilities are either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Metairie. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can vary from place to place, but can range from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health facility will first do a full evaluation of the client's medical history, both physical and mental, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard process, and clinicians and doctors will design a plan of care that can include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the client needing care 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.
