There are three separate kinds of mental health treatment, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who need assistance for a mental health disorder may desire an outpatient option due to personal obligations or perhaps because of the stigma they'd like to avoid because of their problem. Many people can still maintain a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health care with complete discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health centers are usually based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Washington. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can vary 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 conduct a complete assessment of the person'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 medical staff will come up with a course of care that may include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the client needing care also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug problem, many outpatient mental health centers are prepared to treat such a dual diagnosis.
