There are 3 separate kinds of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who may need help for a mental health disorder may want an outpatient approach because of personal obligations or due to the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their problem. Most people can still maintain a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health treatment with complete discretion and privacy.
Outpatient mental health programs are either found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Palmerton. The intensity of outpatient mental health care 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 program will first do a full evaluation of the person's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard procedure, and clinicians and physicians will design a course of care that may include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the person requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as an alcohol or drug problem, many outpatient mental health programs are prepared to treat such a dual diagnosis.
