There are 3 separate kinds of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who require assistance for a mental health problem may want an outpatient option due to their responsibilities or due to 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 treatment with 100% discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health facilities are either based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Louisiana. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from place to place, but can be from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health facility 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 an usual procedure, and clinicians and doctors will design a course of care that may include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the person needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug problem, many outpatient mental health centers are prepared to treat this dual diagnosis.
