There are 3 different types of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who need assistance for a mental health issue may desire an outpatient approach due to their responsibilities or due to the possible tarnishing of their reputation associated with their problem. Most clients can still have a normal school or work day and get outpatient mental health treatment with complete discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health centers are either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Shawmut. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can be different from center to center, but can be from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health center will do a full assessment of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological evaluation is also a standard procedure, and clinicians and doctors will come up with a course of care that can 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 ready to handle such a dual diagnosis.
