Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Amherst, VA.

There are three separate kinds of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who require help for a mental disorder may want an outpatient approach because of their responsibilities or   because of the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their disorder. Many people can still have a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health treatment with full privacy and discretion.

Outpatient mental health facilities are usually found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Amherst. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from place to place, but can be from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health facility will first conduct a complete evaluation of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard process, and clinicians and physicians will come up with a plan of care that may include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, 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 prepared to handle this dual diagnosis.
