There are 3 separate kinds of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who require help for a mental issue might want an outpatient option because of their responsibilities or because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation associated with their issue. Many clients 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 either found in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Ida. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can vary from center to center, 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 procedure, and clinicians and medical staff will come up with a course 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 a drug addiction, most outpatient mental health programs are ready to handle such a dual diagnosis.
