There are 3 different kinds of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who need help for a mental health issue may want an outpatient approach due to their responsibilities or because of the stigma they'd like to avoid because of their problem. Many people can still have a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health care with complete privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health facilities are either found in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in New Bedford. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can vary from program to program, but can be from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health facility will conduct a full evaluation of the person's medical history, both physical and mental, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological evaluation is also a standard process, and clinicians and doctors will come up with a plan of treatment that may include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the client requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug addiction, many outpatient mental health facilities are prepared to handle this dual diagnosis.
