Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Edgewater, MD.

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

Outpatient mental health centers are either based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Edgewater. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from center to center, but can be from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health program will   conduct a full assessment of the person'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 physicians will design a course of care that may include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the individual requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol problem, most outpatient mental health programs are prepared to treat this dual diagnosis.
