Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Oakland Gardens, NY.

There are 3 different kinds of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some individuals who require help for a mental problem may want an outpatient approach due to personal obligations or   due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their disorder. Many clients can still maintain a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health care with full discretion and privacy.

Outpatient mental health centers are usually based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Oakland Gardens. The intensity of outpatient mental health care 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 facility will first do a complete evaluation of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological evaluation is also an usual procedure, and clinicians and physicians will design a plan of care that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the person requiring care also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug problem, many outpatient mental health facilities are ready to handle this dual diagnosis.
