There are 3 separate types of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some individuals who may need help for a mental health problem may desire an outpatient option due to their responsibilities or due to the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their problem. Many people 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 either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in South Boston. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can vary from program to program, but can be from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health facility will conduct a complete evaluation of the individual's medical history, both physical and mental, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological evaluation is also a standard process, and clinicians and medical staff will design a course 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 an alcohol or drug problem, most outpatient mental health centers are ready to treat such a dual diagnosis.
