Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - California, MD.

There are three separate kinds of mental health treatment, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some individuals who need help for a mental health disorder might want an outpatient approach due to personal obligations or   because of the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their issue. Many people can still have a normal school or work day and get outpatient mental health treatment with full discretion and privacy.

Outpatient mental health programs are usually found in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in California. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different 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 individual's medical history, both mental and physical, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological evaluation is also an usual procedure, and clinicians and doctors will design a plan of treatment that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, 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 handle this dual diagnosis.
