There are 3 separate types of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who may need help for a mental health issue may want an outpatient approach because of personal obligations or due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their problem. Most clients can still maintain a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health care with full discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health facilities are either found in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Alexandria. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from center to center, but can range from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health facility will do a full evaluation of the person's medical history, both mental and physical, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard process, and clinicians and doctors will come up with a plan of care 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 addiction, most outpatient mental health facilities are prepared to treat this dual diagnosis.
