Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - St. Bernard, LA.

There are three different types of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who may need help for a mental problem may desire an outpatient approach because of personal obligations or perhaps because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their problem. Most clients can still maintain a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health treatment with full privacy and discretion.

Outpatient mental health programs are usually found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in St. Bernard. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from program to program, but can range from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health program will first do a full evaluation of the individual's medical history, both physical and mental, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological evaluation is also a standard procedure, and clinicians and medical staff will design a plan of treatment that may 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 problem, many outpatient mental health facilities are prepared to treat this dual diagnosis.
