Benefits of Seeking Outpatient Services for Mental Health
Flexibility and Independence
Outpatient care allows you to receive treatment while maintaining your everyday responsibilities. This flexibility can help incorporate what you learn in therapy into your daily life. For instance, you might work on stress reduction strategies in therapy, and then have the opportunity to practice them in real-life situations. When you return to therapy, you can share what you learned through the experience, what you did well, and what you might change in the future.
Ongoing Support
With regular therapy sessions and continued care, our OP ensures you receive consistent support as you work through rebuilding your life. People like knowing that they have a safety net to fall back on as they encounter new challenges in their life. And, if at any time you end up needing more support, your treatment plan can be easily modified.
Strong Support Network
Our Outpatient Program fosters a sense of community, offering peer support through group therapy sessions, while also helping you strengthen relationships outside of treatment. As you learn new social skills, you will have a safe and non-judgmental space to test them out. You can then apply these newly learned skills to your personal relationships at home and work.
Whole-Person Approach
Mental health and physical health are strongly connected. It’s nearly impossible to be physically healthy when you’re under constant stress; your sleep, eating habits, exercise habits, and stress levels are all affected. Without proper intervention, you can develop physical health problems like high blood pressure, gastrointestinal problems, headaches, and chronic pain. Taking a whole-person approach ensures that your mental, emotional, and physical well-being are addressed.
Step-Down Care
Most of the people who participate in our OP have already received some type of treatment, usually from a Partial Hospitalization or Intensive Outpatient Program. These services allow them to receive continued care as they transition to everyday living. This can often be one of the more challenging aspects of recovery, but no one has to go through this process alone.
