Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Stony Brook, NY.

There are three separate types of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who need help for a mental problem may want an outpatient option because of personal obligations or   due to the stigma they'd like to avoid because of their disorder. Most people can still maintain a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health care with full discretion and privacy.

Outpatient mental health facilities are either based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Stony Brook. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can vary from facility to facility, but can be from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health center will first conduct a full assessment of the client's medical history, both physical and mental, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological evaluation is also a standard process, and clinicians and doctors will design a course of care that may include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the client requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug addiction, many outpatient mental health centers are ready to treat such a dual diagnosis.
