There are three separate kinds of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who may need help for a mental health issue might want an outpatient approach due to their responsibilities or perhaps due to the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their disorder. Most people can still have a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health care with full privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health programs are either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Occoquan. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from center to center, but can range from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health program will do a complete assessment of the person's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard process, and clinicians and doctors will come up with a plan of treatment that may 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 addiction, most outpatient mental health centers are ready to treat this dual diagnosis.
