August 19, 2020 – Mental Health Facilities<\/em><\/p>\n

So you\u2019ve just returned from your primary care physician having discussed your anxiety and depression. You have a script in hand with the instructions to come back in a month to see how you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

On the way home, you pick up your prescription and you can\u2019t wait to take your new medication to find some relief.<\/p>\n

After a day or two, you feel some relief but new symptoms develop \u2013 side effects from your medication. You call your primary care physician and speak to a nurse because you can\u2019t get through to your doctor.<\/p>\n

Your nurse tells you your symptoms are normal and to relax and drink a lot of water, that in a few days your symptoms should subside.<\/p>\n

After a few days, symptoms subside slightly \u2013 but not all the way \u2013 and you figure it\u2019s the \u201cnew normal\u201d and that what you are feeling with the medication is better than what you were feeling without the medication.<\/p>\n

So you tough it out and wait for your next appointment, where your doctor may or may not make adjustments based on your conversation.<\/p>\n

If this sounds familiar, you are a part of 20% of Americans who visit their primary care physician for Mental Health reasons.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Primary care physicians are great first responders to our initial mental health symptoms. We feel comfortable sharing our mental health concerns with our primary care physicians and for the most part, they do a good job diagnosing us and prescribing medication to help treat our symptoms. Additionally, we trust our primary care physicians. In the past they have made us feel better and we hope that with a simple pill, we\u2019ll feel better again, soon. So we settle for a quick diagnosis and their prescribed medication.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s where it usually ends. We\u2019re left to handle side effects and left with our own thoughts and feelings.<\/p>\n

But there is a better way. There are treatment centers that can help you not only recognize your symptoms, but also help you manage and understand your symptoms while under the supervision of doctors, nurses and therapists who can really help.<\/p>\n

Typically, there are four levels of care for individuals looking to manage their Mental Health Diagnoses:<\/p>\n

Residential Treatment<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Residential treatment<\/em>\u00a0offers high-quality, long-term\u00a0mental health<\/em> care within a structured, homelike setting that contributes to healing and a sense of community. Many residential facilities accept health insurance.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Partial Hospitalization<\/strong> – Partial hospitalization provides a structured program of outpatient psychiatric services as an alternative to inpatient psychiatric care. It’s more intense than care you get in a doctor’s or therapist’s office, but less intense than a residential treatment program. This treatment is provided during the day and doesn’t require an overnight stay. Some PHP’s offer an housing option regardless. Many PHP\u2019s accept health insurance.<\/p>\n

Intensive Outpatient<\/strong> Program – Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are a step down from Partial Hospitalization and used to address mental health diagnoses at an even less-intensive level than Partial Hospitalization Programs. Many IOPs accept health insurance. Some even offer a housing option.<\/p>\n

Practitioners in private practice<\/strong> \u2013 Many individuals see a mental health professional at the practitioner\u2019s office for mental health treatment\/counseling. Appointments may be for individual, group or even family therapy. Many practitioners accept insurance payments for services.<\/p>\n
