Mental health treatment is often an essential part of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, due to the fact that many people with an addiction disorder also suffer with a co-occurring mental health issue. The need for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become increasingly evident over the last several years, and many rehab facilities in Dillingham now provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a wider range of services together with conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most instances, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of an individual's mental health issue, especially when substance abuse is involved. Oftentimes, the person doesn't even realize they have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder or are suffering with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health clinic or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, actions can be taken to help the client become mentally stable, and this can involve the use of specific counseling, therapies, and possibly medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these instances, professional staff and mental health specialists can determine medication histories and recommend actions which can be taken to eliminate the need for medication. People can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to abuse.
