There are three different types of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some individuals who may need assistance for a mental health issue may want an outpatient option because of their responsibilities or because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation associated with their disorder. Most people can still have a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health care with full discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health programs are either based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in East Quogue. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can be different from program to program, but can range from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health center will do a complete assessment of the client's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual process, and clinicians and medical staff will come up with a course of care that may include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the person needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug addiction, many outpatient mental health centers are ready to handle such a dual diagnosis.
