Psychiatric intervention services are designed to help individuals who are struggling with mental health issues. These services can include individual and family therapy, group therapy, medication management, crisis intervention and community resources. Therapists use various techniques to address different mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use, and eating disorders. A key component of treatment is helping people develop coping skills and strategies to manage their mental health.
At Outreach Recovery, we are dedicated to helping all our patients heal from symptoms and underlying issues alike. To learn more about our compassionate psychiatric services, contact us at 888.897.9284 today. Our mental health treatment aims to help you achieve the life you deserve.
Psychological Evaluations
Our psychiatric intervention services begin with an evaluation. A psychological evaluation is when a licensed professional checks with a series of assessments and questions whether you are experiencing a mental health problem. Patients are first walked through a mental status exam, where appearance, motor activity, insight, judgment, memory, and behavior will be assessed. Safety issues, whether suicidal, homicidal, or self-injurious behaviors are assessed, and addressed.
Then, the patient’s presenting issues are discussed. After that, the patient’s background is discussed including:
- Past psychiatric history
Family history of mental health issues or addiction- Any medical conditions
- Medications
- Trauma history
- Substance use history
- Social history
- Educational and occupational history
- Strengths and limitations
The patient is diagnosed by the professional if they meet certain criteria for a mental health condition. At this point, the patient is usually scheduled for ongoing counseling and other services within Outreach Recovery. All psychiatric evaluations and psychotropic medication recommendations are made at the end of the session.

Crisis Interventions
Counselor or mental health professional meets with an unstabilized patient with the sole focus on stabilizing them. Incidents that may require a crisis intervention include:
- When a loved one passes away
- Getting bullied at school
- Becoming incarcerated or homeless
- Experience a global pandemic
There are any number of ways that a normally functioning person would suddenly have issues adjusting to a “new” normal. There are many crisis intervention models that all follow certain stages but achieve similar results.
We often rely on the Roberts’s Seven-Stage Crisis Intervention Model when treating patients:
- Stage 1: Assess lethality
- Stage 2: Establish rapport
- Stage 3: Identify problems
- Stage 4: Deal with feelings
- Stage 5: Explore alternatives
- Stage 6: Develop an action plan
- Stage 7: Follow-up
Each person is different, and we try to personalize our treatment as much as possible.
