Levels of Outpatient Care
Not all outpatient mental health care looks the same. Lindner Center of Hope offers multiple levels of outpatient care to ensure patients receive the right amount of support.
- Traditional Outpatient Therapy: Typically weekly or biweekly appointments

- Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP): Daytime treatment with patients returning home in the evenings
If a higher or lower level of care becomes necessary, transitions are coordinated seamlessly within one integrated system.
Frequently Asked Questions About Outpatient Treatment
What is outpatient mental health treatment?
Outpatient treatment provides professional mental health care without requiring an overnight stay. Patients attend scheduled appointments or structured programs while continuing their daily routines.
How do I know if outpatient treatment is right for me?
Outpatient care may be appropriate if:
- Mental health symptoms are affecting daily life
- 24-hour supervision is not required
- You are medically and psychiatrically stable
- You can safely live at home with support
- You are motivated to engage in treatment
An assessment helps determine whether outpatient care is the best starting point.
How is the right type of outpatient treatment determined?
Treatment recommendations are based on:
- Diagnosis and symptom severity
- Impact on work, school, and relationships
- Safety considerations
- Previous treatment history
- Personal goals and preferences
Our clinicians work collaboratively with patients to explain options and recommend the most effective approach.
When should someone consider outpatient mental health care?
Outpatient treatment may be helpful when:
- Emotional distress interferes with daily functioning
- Symptoms persist or worsen over time
- Medication evaluation or adjustment is needed
- Therapy is needed for anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, or other concerns
- A step-down from inpatient or residential care is recommended
Can outpatient care help prevent the need for inpatient treatment?
Yes. Early, effective outpatient treatment can help stabilize symptoms, build coping skills, and reduce the risk of needing more intensive levels of care.
What if outpatient treatment is not enough?
If outpatient care alone is not sufficient, Lindner Center of Hope offers intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, inpatient hospitalization, and residential services. Because all levels of care are part of one system, transitions are smooth and based solely on clinical need.
