Outpatient Care in Delhi Gurgaon & NCR
Based on the type and severity of mental health problems, the therapists at Athena Behavioral Health make a conclusive decision whether the patient requires complete inpatient rehabilitation or can be treated in outpatient care without the need for admission.
Remember, only the patients with mild or moderate symptoms of comparatively less dangerous conditions can be managed through outpatient care. The ones struggling with serious addiction or uncontrollable symptoms require 24/7 medical supervision that is possible only in an inpatient program at a credible rehabilitation facility.
Outpatient care alone can work in the following conditions:
- If the patient is experiencing mild to moderate symptoms and is able to take care of himself/herself
- Treatment does not require round-the-clock monitoring and administration
- If the patient has a solid support system, including people with a medical background
- If the condition of the patient is stable enough to take care of his food and medicine requirements and is capable of adhering to the designated schedules
- If the patient is not suicidal
Effective Guidelines
We, at Athena Behavioral Health ensure that outpatient care does have to be out of care. That is why we have specific plans to ensure optimum care for even outpatient candidates.
Our outpatient care model includes instructional and assessment charts to ensure that the symptoms never go out of control. The instructions specifically cover effective guidelines for:
- Individual therapy
- Family therapy
- Symptom management
