There are three different kinds of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who may need assistance for a mental disorder may desire an outpatient approach because of personal obligations or perhaps because of the stigma they'd like to avoid because of their issue. Many clients can still have a normal work or school day and get outpatient mental health treatment with 100% privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health programs are usually found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Hammond. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can be different from place to place, but can be from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health facility will do a full assessment of the person's medical history, both mental and physical, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual process, and clinicians and medical staff will design a course of treatment that may include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the individual requiring care also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug addiction, many outpatient mental health centers are ready to handle such a dual diagnosis.
