Mental health treatment has become an essential part of the treatment of addiction disorders, because many individuals with an addiction disorder struggle with a co-occurring mental health issue. The need for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become increasingly apparent over the last several years, and many rehab centers in Kodiak also offer dual diagnosis treatment as part of a wider range 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 disorder, especially when substance abuse is involved. In many cases, the client 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, steps can be put forth to help the individual resolve issues and become more stable, and this may involve the use of certain psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, clients suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly misusing their medications. In these instances, rehab staff and mental health professionals can assess medication records and suggest actions which can be taken to get rid of 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 misuse.
