Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Shelbyville, MO.

There are three different types of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who need assistance for a mental problem may want an outpatient approach due to their responsibilities or perhaps because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation associated with their problem. Many people can still have a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health care with 100% discretion and privacy.

Outpatient mental health facilities are either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Shelbyville. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from facility to facility, but can range from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health program will first do a full assessment of the client's medical history, both physical and mental, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual procedure, and clinicians and doctors will design a course of treatment that can include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the client needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug addiction, many outpatient mental health centers are ready to treat such a dual diagnosis.
