Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Afton, IA.

There are three different types of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who may need help for a mental issue might desire an outpatient approach because of personal obligations or   because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their disorder. Many people can still have a normal school or work day and get outpatient mental health treatment with full discretion and privacy.

Outpatient mental health centers are either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Afton. 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 prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard procedure, and clinicians and medical staff will come up with a course of care that may include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the individual 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.
