Mental Health Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Douglas, AK.

Mental health treatment has become an essential component of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, due to the fact that a considerably large number of individuals with an addiction disorder also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become more and more evident over the last few years, and many rehabilitation centers in Douglas now offer dual diagnosis treatment as part of a broader spectrum of services together with traditional 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 addiction is present. Often, the client doesn't even realize they have an anxiety disorder or are struggling with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health clinic or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, steps can be put forth to help the person resolve issues and become more stable, and this can involve the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, clients struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, professional staff and medical practitioners can assess medication histories and propose steps which can be introduced to eliminate the need for medication. Patients can be carefully weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to misuse.
