There are 3 separate types of mental health treatment, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some individuals who may need help for a mental problem might desire an outpatient option due to their responsibilities or because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their problem. Many clients can still maintain a normal school or work day and get outpatient mental health treatment with 100% privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health programs are either based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in East Amherst. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from facility to facility, but can be from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health center will do a full 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 process, and clinicians and medical staff will design a plan of care that can include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the client needing care also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug addiction, most outpatient mental health facilities are ready to treat such a dual diagnosis.
