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

There are 3 different kinds of mental health treatment, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some individuals who may need help for a mental health problem might want an outpatient option due to their responsibilities or   due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their disorder. Most people can still maintain a normal school or work day and get outpatient mental health care with complete privacy and discretion.

Outpatient mental health programs are usually based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Westwego. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from facility to facility, but can range from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health facility will first conduct a complete evaluation of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual procedure, and clinicians and physicians will design a course of treatment that may include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the client requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug problem, most outpatient mental health centers are prepared to treat this dual diagnosis.
