Outpatient Therapy

Outpatient behavioral health services are psychiatric and biopsychosocial assessment, medication management, individual, group, and family therapies, psychotherapy for crisis, and psychological testing for eligible beneficiaries.

These services are intended to determine a beneficiary’s treatment needs, and to provide the necessary treatment. Services focus on reducing psychiatric and behavioral symptoms in order to improve the beneficiary’s functioning in familial, social, educational, or occupational life domains.

Outpatient behavioral health services are available to eligible beneficiaries and often involve the participation of family members, significant others, and legally responsible person(s) as applicable, unless contraindicated.

Based on collaboration between the practitioner and beneficiary, and others as needed, the beneficiary’s needs and preferences determine the treatment goals, frequency and duration of services, as well as measurable and desirable outcomes.
