There are 3 different types of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some individuals who require assistance for a mental problem may desire an outpatient option due to their responsibilities or perhaps because of the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their problem. Most people can still maintain a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health care with 100% privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health programs are usually based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Ames. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can vary from program to program, but can be from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health facility will conduct a complete evaluation of the client's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological evaluation is also a standard process, and clinicians and physicians will come up with a course of treatment that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the person needing care also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug addiction, many outpatient mental health programs are ready to treat this dual diagnosis.
