Mental health treatment is often an essential part of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, because a considerably large number of individuals with substance abuse issues struggle with a co-occurring mental health problem. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become more and more apparent over the last few years, and many rehab facilities in Kotzebue also provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a wider range of services over and above conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's disorder, particularly when substance abuse is involved. Often, the person doesn't initially even know they have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder or are struggling with depression until it is discovered in a mental health physician's office or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, steps can be taken to help the individual become mentally stable, and this may include the use of various counseling, therapies, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people struggling with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and medical professionals can determine medication histories and suggest steps which can be introduced to eliminate the need for medication. Individuals can be safely weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to misuse.
