There are three separate kinds of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who may need help for a mental disorder may want an outpatient option due to their responsibilities or because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their disorder. Most clients can still maintain a normal work or school day and get outpatient mental health care with 100% discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health facilities are usually based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Horseheads. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from program to program, but can be from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health facility will first conduct a complete assessment of the client's medical history, both physical and mental, which includes their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological evaluation is also an usual process, and clinicians and doctors will come up with a course of care that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the person requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol problem, most outpatient mental health centers are prepared to treat such a dual diagnosis.
