There are 3 separate types of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some individuals who require assistance for a mental health problem might want an outpatient option because of personal obligations or perhaps because of the stigma they'd like to avoid because of their disorder. Most people can still maintain a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health care with 100% privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health centers are usually based in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Scotland. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can be different from facility to facility, but can be from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health facility will first conduct a full evaluation of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, which includes their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard process, and clinicians and physicians will come up with a course of care 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 addiction, many outpatient mental health facilities are prepared to treat this dual diagnosis.
