Not everyone needs inpatient hospital care. Reno Behavioral Healthcare Hospital's Outpatient Programs provide needed treatment and therapy without the overnight stay.
At Reno Behavioral Healthcare Hospital, we offer patients a variety of outpatient treatment options. Our programs feature solution-focused therapy techniques, and we aim to provide each patient with the best possible treatment outcome for their situation. Additionally, our trained therapists adhere to trauma-informed care best practices and remain sensitive to the impact of trauma on each patient’s mental health.
Benefits of outpatient mental health programs
One of the main benefits of outpatient behavioral health programs is that they allow the patient to maintain important aspects of their home and family life during treatment.
A related benefit of outpatient treatment is that patients can more easily continue therapy for extended periods. Outpatient programs can more easily fit into one’s schedule and routine than inpatient programs, and long-term treatment can help yield more lasting mental health improvements. To avoid relapse of mental health issues, many patients often enroll in ongoing outpatient treatment as a step-down program from previous inpatient care.
In both outpatient and inpatient treatment programs, patients receive evidence-based treatments, including group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and illness management support.
