Mental health treatment has become an important part of the treatment of addiction disorders, due to the fact that many people with an addiction disorder also suffer with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The need for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more evident over the last few years, and many rehabilitation centers in Rialto also provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a wider range of services over and above 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. Often, the individual 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, corrective steps can be completed to help the individual resolve issues and become more stable, and this can involve the use of various counseling, therapies, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, individuals suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with substance use or possibly misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and medical practitioners can evaluate medication histories and propose actions which can be put forth 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 misuse.
