Mental Health Service Type Mental health service type refers to the following kinds of mental health services: 24-hour mental health care, formerly called inpatient care, provides care in a mental health hospital setting. Less than 24-hour care, formerly called outpatient or partial care treatment, provides mental health services on an ambulatory basis. Residential treatment care provides overnight mental health care in conjunction with an intensive treatment program in a setting other than a hospital. Facilities may offer care to emotionally disturbed children or mentally ill adults. SOURCE: Health, United States Related
