How Does Outpatient Mental Health Treatment Work?

At our outpatient mental health treatment in Atlanta, we provide a variety of treatment methods and strategies that are designed for individuals who do not require, or no longer require, the intensive level of psychiatric care provided in an inpatient or residential treatment setting. 

Here is a general outline of how our program works:

  1. Assessment and Diagnosis: During a client’s initial appointment, we conduct a series of psychological tests, interviews, and sometimes, medical evaluations to gather a complete picture of the client’s mental health. The gathered information is used to formulate a diagnosis, which guides the treatment plan.

  2. Treatment Plan Development: Based on the assessment and diagnosis, our staff will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to the individual’s needs. This plan may include different types of therapy including TMS Therapy, Ketamine/Spravato Treatment, or Psychiatry. This plan should be collaborative; the individual receiving care should be involved in and agree with the plan.

  3. Medication Management: If medication is a part of the treatment plan, regular appointments will likely be scheduled with our psychiatrist. The psychiatrist will monitor the individual’s response to the medication and make any necessary adjustments.

  4. Follow-up and Monitoring: Regular follow-up appointments are typically scheduled to assess progress and adjust the treatment plan as necessary. These check-ins are an important part of ensuring the treatment is working and addressing any new or changing symptoms.

  5. Support Groups: Some individuals may also benefit from participating in support groups, which can provide a sense of community, reduce feelings of isolation, and offer practical advice and coping strategies.

It’s important to note that the duration and frequency of treatment can vary greatly depending on the individual’s needs and the specific mental health concern being addressed. Some people may only need short-term treatment, while others may require long-term care. Give us a call now at (404) 882-9347 or schedule an appointment today.

Remember, it’s crucial for anyone seeking mental health treatment to work closely with their healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate type of care. Mental health treatment should always be personalized and adjusted as necessary to ensure it meets the individual’s needs.

What Type of Mental Health Disorders Do You Treat?

This includes major depressive disorder, dysthymia (persistent depressive disorder), and other forms of depression.

This includes generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias, and others.

PTSD is a condition that can occur following exposure to a traumatic event, such as war, assault, or disaster.

Bipolar Disorder is characterized by periods of unusually intense emotion, changes in sleep patterns and activity levels, and unusual behaviors.

OCD is characterized by repetitive, unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and irrational, excessive urges to do certain actions (compulsions).

This includes disorders such as borderline personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and narcissistic personality disorder.

This includes dual diagnosis disorders related to the misuse of alcohol, opioids, and other drugs.

While ADHD is often diagnosed in children, it can continue into adulthood and be treated in an outpatient setting.

How Do I Know I'm A Good Fit For Outpatient Mental Health Treatment?

Determining whether you’re a good fit for outpatient treatment depends on a variety of factors, including the nature and severity of your symptoms, your current level of functioning, and your personal circumstances and support network.

Here are some general indicators that outpatient treatment may be a good fit:

  1. Severity of Symptoms: Outpatient treatment can be suitable for a wide range of mental health issues, from mild to moderate and sometimes severe. However, if your symptoms are extremely severe or you’re experiencing a crisis — such as suicidal thoughts or intentions, extreme manic episodes, or psychosis — more intensive care like inpatient treatment might be needed, at least initially.

  2. Level of Functioning: If you’re able to maintain your daily routines and responsibilities (like work, school, or family obligations) while managing your symptoms, outpatient mental health treatment might be a good option. If your symptoms are significantly disrupting your ability to function, a higher level of care may be necessary.

  3. Stability: If you’re generally stable — i.e., not in crisis or experiencing severe or rapidly worsening symptoms — outpatient treatment could be appropriate.

  4. Support System: A good support system can significantly benefit outpatient treatment. If you have friends, family, or other supportive individuals who can help you outside of treatment hours, you’re likely a good fit for outpatient care.

  5. Motivation and Commitment: Outpatient treatment requires a level of commitment to the process. You’ll be expected to attend sessions regularly and may be given tasks to complete between sessions. If you’re motivated to engage with the process and willing to work on your mental health, outpatient treatment could work well for you.
