How does Outpatient Treatment for Mental Health Work?

We’ll follow a structured process, but the specific steps and duration may vary depending on your needs. Here’s a general overview:

Assessment: A comprehensive evaluation assesses your mental health, medical history, and treatment goals. This involves interviews and may include tests. A personalized treatment plan is then created, outlining goals, therapy types, session frequency, and program duration.
Treatment: This phase may include individual therapy, group therapy, and potentially family therapy. Medication management and skills training workshops may also be incorporated.
Monitoring & Adjustment: The treatment plan is regularly reviewed and adjusted to ensure it remains effective. Progress is assessed to identify areas needing further support.
Transition & Aftercare: A discharge plan is developed to ensure a smooth transition upon program completion. This may include continued therapy, support groups, or community resources to maintain long-term recovery.
Duration & Frequency: Outpatient treatment duration varies greatly depending on individual needs. Therapy sessions typically occur weekly or bi-weekly, but frequency may be adjusted based on individual requirements.

Jamie M. on Google Reviews: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“One phone call and I received the help I needed. I have never been to a detox center or any form of rehab, so I was not sure of what to expect from a treatment experience. From the moment I walked off of my first plane ride, in tears, drunk, I was welcomed with a huge smile and a warm hug of comfort. Not only a beautiful setting, the groups they required attendance in were insightful, powerful, and surprisingly enjoyable. Every one of the staff has a piece of my heart forever. And all of the staff are dedicated and are a massive influence on so many lives. Mine has been just one. I cannot say thank you enough.”

Brian M. on Google Reviews: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Wish I went through this program 39 years ago. I’ve learned 99.9% more than all the rehab centers in Newport Beach put together! I was excited to attend daily facilitators and have never felt this in the past. Hours seemed like minutes. It was that good! I have to also thank the staff and coordinators for taking amazing care of me! I always felt every single staff member truly cared. I also loved the many times we were taken to the movies, gym, beach and of course a meeting every night!”

Hayden W. on Google Reviews: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I want to give a special thank you to Farah, Britni, Ryan, and Matt who all really helped me with my time at stillwater. Another huge thank you to the owner named Robbie who has helped my recovery immensely. He cares about his clients and his staff, which trickles down to the bottom line making for a great drug and alcohol treatment facility. Thanks again to all above mentioned, and to those I forgot to mention.”
