There are 3 different kinds of mental health treatment, including hospital inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Some people who require assistance for a mental disorder may want an outpatient approach due to their responsibilities or because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their issue. Most clients can still maintain a normal work or school day and receive outpatient mental health treatment with 100% privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health programs are either found in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in Albany. 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 facility will do a full assessment of the client's medical history, both mental and physical, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual process, and clinicians and doctors will come up with a plan of care that can include individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage/couples counseling, etc. If the individual requiring treatment also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug or alcohol problem, most outpatient mental health centers are ready to treat such a dual diagnosis.
