Mental Health Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Arlington, AZ.

Mental health treatment is an important part of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, because many people with an addiction disorder also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The necessity for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more evident over the last few years, and many treatment facilities in Arlington also provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a wider range of services in addition to conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.

In many instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's disorder, especially when substance abuse is involved. Often, the individual doesn't initially even know they have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder or are struggling with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health physician's office or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, corrective steps can be completed to help the person become mentally stable, and this can involve the use of certain counseling, therapies, and perhaps medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with substance use or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and medical practitioners can determine medication records and propose actions which can be introduced to do away with the need for medication. Patients can be carefully weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to abuse.
