There are 3 separate kinds of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who need assistance for a mental disorder might want an outpatient option due to personal obligations or due to the stigma they'd like to avoid because of their issue. Most people can still maintain a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health treatment with 100% privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health centers are either based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Albany. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from center to center, 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 a standard procedure, and clinicians and physicians will design a plan of treatment that may include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the client needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol problem, most outpatient mental health programs are prepared to handle such a dual diagnosis.
