There are three separate types of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some individuals who may need help for a mental issue may want an outpatient approach due to their responsibilities or perhaps because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their issue. Many people can still maintain a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health care with full privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health facilities are usually based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Richmond. 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 program will do a complete evaluation of the person's medical history, both physical and mental, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological evaluation is also an usual process, and clinicians and medical staff will design a plan of treatment that can 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 a drug addiction, most outpatient mental health programs are prepared to handle such a dual diagnosis.
