There are 3 separate kinds of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who require help for a mental health disorder might want an outpatient option because of personal obligations or due to the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their disorder. 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 facilities are either based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in St. Croix. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from place to place, but can be from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health center will first do a full evaluation of the person's medical history, both mental and physical, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual process, and clinicians and physicians will design a plan of treatment that can include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the person requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug addiction, most outpatient mental health facilities are ready to handle such a dual diagnosis.
