Outpatient Psychiatric Treatment for Adults

Outpatient psychiatric treatment is a less restrictive level of care. It allows individuals to seek treatment for mental health issues while allowing them to maintain their commitments to family and work. Those in recovery who have completed an inpatient program often continue treatment on an outpatient basis.

Services this Program Offers

Our outpatient clinics provide a broad range of outpatient consultation, evaluation and treatment interventions for emotional, psychological or cognitive problems. Each person is provided with an initial assessment and an individualized treatment plan.

We offer a range of short- and long-term individual therapies and ongoing medication management as part of an individual’s treatment plan. Outpatient treatment by regularly scheduled appointments may include the following services:

  • Psychiatric evaluations
  • Medication management
  • Individual and family therapies
