There are three different types of mental health treatment, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who require help for a mental health disorder may want an outpatient approach due to personal obligations or due to the stigma they'd like to avoid because of their problem. Many clients can still maintain a normal school or work day and get outpatient mental health treatment with 100% discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health facilities are either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Galt. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from place to place, but can be from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health center will first conduct a complete assessment of the person's medical history, both physical and mental, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological evaluation is also an usual procedure, and clinicians and doctors will come up with a plan of care that can 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 a drug problem, most outpatient mental health programs are ready to treat such a dual diagnosis.
