Mental Health Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Los Molinos, CA.

Mental health treatment is often an important aspect of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, because a significantly large number of individuals with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become more and more evident over the last several years, and many rehab programs in Los Molinos now offer dual diagnosis treatment as part of a wider range of services over and above traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.

In most cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's mental health issue, particularly when substance abuse is involved. Often, the person doesn't initially even know 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 become mentally stable, and this might include the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, clients struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or perhaps misusing their medications. In these circumstances, rehab staff and mental health practitioners can review medication histories and propose steps which can be put forth to remove the need for medication. Clients can be harmlessly weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to misuse.
