Mental Health Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Eclectic, AL.

Mental health treatment is an important component of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, because many individuals with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly apparent over the last few years, and many rehabilitation programs in Eclectic also provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.

In most cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's mental health issue, especially when substance abuse is involved. Often, the person doesn't initially even know they have an anxiety disorder or are suffering with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health physician's office or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, steps can be put forth to help the client become mentally stable, and this may incorporate the use of specific counseling, therapies, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with substance use or perhaps misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and medical practitioners can review medication records and recommend steps which can be put forth to remove the need for medication. Patients can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
