There are 3 different types of mental health treatment, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some individuals who may need help for a mental health problem may want an outpatient approach due to personal obligations or perhaps because of the possible tarnishing of their reputation because of their issue. Most clients can still have a normal work or school day and get outpatient mental health care with complete privacy and discretion.
Outpatient mental health programs are usually found in private offices, hospitals or community health centers in Bow. The intensity of outpatient mental health treatment can vary from center to center, but can range from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health center will conduct a full evaluation of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, including their illicit drug and prescription drug history. Psychological testing is also a standard procedure, and clinicians and doctors will come up with a course of care that may include group therapy, marriage or couples counseling, family therapy, individual psychotherapy, etc. If the individual needing care also has a co-occurring disorder such as a drug addiction, most outpatient mental health programs are ready to treat this dual diagnosis.
