Outpatient Mental Health Facility - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - St. Albans, WV.

There are three separate types of mental health care, including residential, outpatient, and hospital inpatient. Some people who need help for a mental health disorder might desire an outpatient approach because of their responsibilities or perhaps because of the stigma they'd like to avoid associated with their problem. Most clients can still maintain a normal school or work day and receive outpatient mental health care with full privacy and discretion.

Outpatient mental health programs are usually based in community health centers, private offices, or hospitals in St. Albans. The intensity of outpatient mental health care can vary from program to program, but can range from daily treatment to attendance a few days a week or more. An outpatient mental health program will   do a full evaluation of the individual's medical history, both mental and physical, including their prescription drug and illicit drug history. Psychological testing is also an usual process, and clinicians and physicians will come up with a plan of treatment 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 or alcohol addiction, many outpatient mental health centers are prepared to handle this dual diagnosis.
