There are 3 different kinds of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who require assistance for a mental health problem may want an outpatient option because of personal obligations or perhaps because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their issue. Many people can still maintain a normal work or school day and get outpatient mental health treatment with 100% privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health programs are either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in La Fayette. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from program to program, but can be from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health facility will do a complete evaluation of the client's medical history, both mental and physical, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard procedure, and clinicians and doctors will come up with a plan of care that may include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the individual requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug problem, most outpatient mental health centers are ready to handle such a dual diagnosis.
