Mental health treatment is an important component of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, due to the fact that many individuals with an addiction disorder struggle with a co-occurring mental health problem. The necessity for dual diagnosis treatment has become more and more evident over the last few years, and many rehab centers in Santa Rosa also provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a wider range of services in addition to traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most instances, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of the person'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 discovered in a mental health clinic or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, steps can be taken to help the person become mentally stable, and this can involve the use of specific counseling, therapies, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, individuals suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these circumstances, professional staff and mental health specialists can determine medication records and propose actions which can be taken to remove the need for medication. Patients can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to abuse.
