Mental health treatment has become an important aspect of the treatment of addiction disorders, because many people with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly apparent over the last several years, and many treatment centers in Rocky Ford now provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a wider range of services in addition to conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most instances, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, particularly when substance abuse is involved. Oftentimes, the individual doesn't even realize they have an anxiety disorder or are struggling with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health clinic or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, actions can be completed to help the client resolve issues and become more stable, and this may include the use of specific counseling, therapies, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, individuals struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly misusing their medications. In these circumstances, rehab staff and mental health professionals can assess medication histories and recommend actions which can be taken to eliminate the need for medication. Patients can be carefully weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to abuse.
