There are three separate types of mental health treatment, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who may need help for a mental problem may desire an outpatient approach because of personal obligations or because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation associated with their disorder. Many clients can still have a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health care with complete discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health programs are either based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Alamo. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can vary from program to program, but can range 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 mental and physical, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological evaluation is also an usual procedure, and clinicians and medical staff will design a plan of treatment that may 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 an alcohol or drug problem, most outpatient mental health programs are prepared to treat such a dual diagnosis.
