What is an Outpatient Mental Health Facility for Adults?

Outpatient Mental Health Treatment is a form of treatment designed to help those with mental health conditions through a combination of group and individual therapy. Qualified mental health professionals lead clients through behavioral health programming, providing personalized treatment plans, evidence-based programs, and psychoeducational resources.  Studies have shown that “IOP treatment group made statistically reliable and clinically significant improvements on every symptom scale, moved to a less severe range of functioning, and improved GAF (Global Assessment Functioning) scores while being treated on an outpatient basis.”1 The goal of intensive outpatient treatment and partial hospitalization programming is to equip clients with mental health services and coping skills for long-term adult mental health recovery and wellness.   IOP and PHP programs provide stabilization in a supportive environment and comprehensive mental health treatment, but at a more flexible schedule. AMFM Mental Health Treatment in Virginia offers outpatient programs, with both in-person and virtual telehealth treatment options to meet your individual needs. AMFM Mental Health Treatment also offers programming in California and Washington.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Treatment Programs

Inpatient Treatment usually refers to live-in 24/7 residential mental health treatment services, while Outpatient Treatment refers to mental health programming that’s limited to a certain number of hours a day. Inpatient treatment tends to provide a higher level of care, due to the around-the-clock nature of the programming, and may be helpful for those with more intense mental health or physical health needs. 

However, both inpatient and outpatient treatment plans with AMFM Mental Health Treatment offer a high standard of care and attention, thorough programming, psychiatry assistance and medication management, and upon exit, aftercare and relapse prevention strategies. 

AMFM Mental Health in Virginia also offers partial hospitalization programs (PHP) which usually consists of a higher frequency of programming than IOP, but not quite as often as residential treatment. Some may see IOP as a step-down from residential care, but only in the number of hours, never the quality of care.

Mental Health Disorders and Conditions for Treatment

It’s estimated that more than one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness.2

AMFM Mental Health Treatment has extensive experience treating a variety of mental health conditions through evidence-based therapies, including but not limited to the following:

  • Anxiety Disorders
  • Depression
  • Eating Disorders
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • ADHD
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Mood Disorders
  • Psychosis 
  • Schizophrenia
  • Panic Attacks


Recovery can feel isolating; intensive outpatient mental health programs can provide cohesive treatment plans to help you or your loved one as you move forward.

What Does an Average Day at an AMFM Mental Health Treatment Facility in Virginia Look Like?

AMFM Mental Health Treatment outpatient services offer both virtual and in-person programming; outpatient mental health treatment helps provide a more flexible alternative to residential treatment, with a combination of individual and group therapies meeting on weekly or bi-weekly schedules.

Because many outpatient programs are virtual, they can allow you or your loved one to continue with regularly scheduled activities, like work and/or schooling, while continuing to put your mental and emotional health at the forefront of your life. Our outpatient programming usually consists of nine or more hours of mental health care spread out over a few days, and can be available for morning and evening scheduling. AMFM takes a holistic approach to healing, providing a supportive environment, hands-on case management, and compassionate care.

AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers a combination of holistic mental health services‌ and evidence-based therapies like the following:

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy takes place in a one on one setting with a licensed professional, usually consisting of a combination of dialectical and cognitive behavioral therapies, in which a person can talk through his or her individual struggles. Individual therapy and mental health care is one of the most crucial steps for those facing mental health challenges.

Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions can be used to help provide structured times to help you understand that you are not alone in your struggles, that your peers are also walking through these challenges, while also providing guidance, suggestions and communications from psychologists with specialized backgrounds. 3 These groups can span a variety of backgrounds, including but not limited to art therapy, somatic therapy, and narrative therapy. 

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that’s focused on restructuring and reprogramming maladaptive and negative thought processes.4 Psychologists are trained to help you change your cognitive and emotional processes in order to outgrow coping mechanisms that may no longer be serving you.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is most commonly referred to as “talk therapy,” and is designed to help process emotions. Qualified professionals offer psychological therapy to move forward with healthy ways of engaging in interpersonal relationships and alleviating physical and emotional distress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

EMDR Therapy is a renowned method of reprocessing most often used in trauma therapy.5 By activating the prefrontal cortex through a series of bilateral stimulation, qualified professionals can lead you through traumatic experiences, helping you to alleviate the distress symptomized by trauma.

Crisis Intervention and Stabilization Services

A crisis is defined by the National Library of Medicine “as an overwhelming event, which can include divorce, violence, the passing of a loved one, or the discovery of a serious illness.”6 The goal of crisis intervention is to provide safety and reduce any potential harm to an individual undergoing a crisis.
