There are three separate kinds of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who require assistance for a mental health problem might desire an outpatient approach because of personal obligations or due to the stigma they'd like to avoid because of their issue. Most clients can still maintain a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health care with 100% discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health centers are usually based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Durham. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can be different from program to program, but can be from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health center will do a complete assessment of the individual's medical history, both physical and mental, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard procedure, and clinicians and physicians will design a plan of care that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the person needing care also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug addiction, most outpatient mental health facilities are prepared to treat this dual diagnosis.
