Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - St. Landry, LA.

There are 3 different types of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who need assistance for a mental disorder may want an outpatient option due to their responsibilities or   because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their problem. Many clients can still have a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health care with complete privacy and discretion.

Outpatient mental health centers are usually found in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in St. Landry. 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 facility will first conduct a complete assessment of the person's medical history, both physical and mental, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological evaluation is also a standard process, and clinicians and doctors will come up with a plan of care that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the individual requiring care also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol addiction, many outpatient mental health centers are prepared to treat such a dual diagnosis.
