Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Los Alamos, NM.

There are 3 separate types of mental health care, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some individuals who may need help for a mental problem may want an outpatient approach because of their responsibilities or perhaps due to the stigma they'd like to avoid because of their disorder. Most clients can still have a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health care with complete discretion and privacy.

Outpatient mental health programs are either based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Los Alamos. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can be different from facility to facility, but can be from participation a few days a week to daily treatment. An outpatient mental health facility will first do a full assessment of the client's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological evaluation is also a standard process, and clinicians and medical staff will design a course of treatment that may include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the person needing treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol problem, many outpatient mental health facilities are prepared to treat this dual diagnosis.
