There are three different kinds of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who need help for a mental health problem may want an outpatient approach due to personal obligations or because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation associated with their issue. Many clients can still have a normal school or work day and get outpatient mental health care with 100% discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health centers are either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Mascoutah. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from program to program, but can be from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health program will first conduct a complete assessment of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual procedure, and clinicians and doctors will come up with a plan of care that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the client needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug problem, many outpatient mental health programs are prepared to handle this dual diagnosis.
