Mental health disorders are a specific grouping of conditions that are outlined within the Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel of Mental Health Disorders (DSM). This resource is used by mental health professionals to understand, and diagnose mental health conditions. These conditions can affect your mood, thinking, behavior, or a combination of each.
Mental health disorders can generally occur in a range of severity, from mild to severe. Some can cope with their symptoms and navigate their daily life well. Others experience a significant amount of psychological distress that requires professional support. Mental health conditions can be the result of several factors, the most common being genetics, your environment, and your experiences. Some conditions, like post-traumatic stress disorder, are triggered by specific events.
You can experience a range of symptoms, depending on the mental health disorder that you are living with. The DSM has these conditions listed in groupings of similar conditions. This includes anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, personality disorders, bipolar and related disorders, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, and trauma-and stressor related disorders. Each condition has their own set of symptoms, which separates it from other disorders within its category. If you have been struggling with persistent or worsening mental health symptoms, we encourage you to contact A Mission For Michael for a complimentary mental health assessment. This allows us to provide you with a personalized recommendation for treatment. Dial (866)478-4383 today to get started.
Mental health treatment and therapy are often used to address mental health concerns, ranging from mild to severe impairment. Counseling and therapy can support you in your healing process by introducing effective coping skills and helping you gain a more profound insight into your condition. The intensity of treatment ranges between residential and outpatient therapy.
Because of the individualized nature of mental health concerns, treatment is commonly tailored to your personal needs. This can include a range of approaches including behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, holistic healing approaches, trauma recovery approaches, and supportive therapy. Your treatment schedule may include individual therapy, group therapy, or even family therapy, depending on your needs.
Additional differences can be found in the duration of your treatment. Those who are experiencing moderate to severe mental health challenges may require additional support compared to those with mild symptoms. This could mean that you engage in different levels of care, or that you stay in a treatment program for a longer duration. Medication management services may also be required on a long-term basis, especially for those who are taking medications for mood disorders, bipolar related disorders, and schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Insurance policies may require that you obtain prior authorization for long-term treatment.
Behavioral health insurance coverage is a common component of insurance plans. The Affordable Care Act of 2010 requires that insurance providers offer coverage for some mental health services, including inpatient mental health services, counseling and psychotherapy, and substance use disorder treatment.
Insurance coverage can provide you with financial indemnity regarding any losses associated with treatment costs. Your insurance plan may have specific deductibles, co-pays, and plan exclusions that can affect your out-of-pocket expenses. Your plan may include an umbrella policy that can include a broad range of mental health treatment options. If you would like to learn about the details associated with your insurance plan, we encourage you to complete the insurance verification form available with AMFM Mental Health Treatment Centers.

Mental health insurance companies often provide coverage for a range of mental health therapy programs. These programs are tailored address-specific needs based on the intensity of your symptoms. Though this is not an exhaustive list, commonly approved mental health treatment programs include:

Typically, insurance policies have specific out-of-pocket expenses in the forms of copay, deductibles, and coinsurance. These details of your plan will have a direct impact on the expenses that you face.
With that being said, the cost of therapy with insurance is typically more affordable than paying out of pocket. Insurance companies do offer a range of plans and services, which allows policyholders to choose coverage based on their needs. Because of this, it is important to verify your insurance so you can make an informed decision about your treatment.
The cost of mental health treatment without insurance is dependent on the care you receive. Different treatment programs have different costs to reflect the intensity of the services they provide. Residential treatment can range from $500 to $2,000 per day, generally more than traditional outpatient therapy costs.
Outpatient therapy sessions can cost between $100 and $200, with lower costs associated with group therapy sessions. Intensive outpatient programs, including PHPs and IOPs, generally have higher costs than traditional outpatient therapy. This is because of the intensive treatment they provide. Additional factors that can affect the cost of treatment include the treatment center’s location, the staff’s credentials and experience, access to specialized and holistic approaches, and the amenities that are available to you.
