Mental health treatment is often an important component of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, because a significantly large number of people with substance abuse issues struggle with a co-occurring mental health issue. The need for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more evident over the last few years, and many rehabilitation facilities in Scottsdale now provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, particularly when substance abuse is involved. Oftentimes, the individual 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, treatment steps can be taken to help the person resolve issues and become more stable, and this may incorporate the use of various psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol or possibly misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and medical practitioners can assess medication records and recommend actions which can be introduced to eliminate the need for medication. Individuals can be carefully weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to abuse.
