There are 3 separate kinds of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some individuals who need help for a mental disorder may want an outpatient approach due to personal obligations or due to the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their disorder. Many clients can still maintain a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health care with 100% discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health facilities are either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Norfolk. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from program to program, but can range from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health center will first conduct a full assessment of the person's medical history, both mental and physical, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological evaluation is also a standard process, 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 client needing care also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug addiction, many outpatient mental health centers are prepared to handle this dual diagnosis.
