There are three different types of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who need help for a mental disorder might want an outpatient option due to their responsibilities or due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their disorder. Many clients can still maintain a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health treatment with full discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health programs are usually found in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Livermore. 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 program will first conduct a full assessment of the person's medical history, both physical and mental, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard process, and clinicians and medical staff will design a course of care that can include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the client needing care also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol problem, many outpatient mental health facilities are prepared to handle such a dual diagnosis.
