Mental health treatment is an important component of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, because many people with an addiction disorder struggle 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 facilities in Mansfield Center now offer dual diagnosis treatment as part of a broader spectrum of services over and above conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In many instances, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, especially when addiction is present. In many cases, the person doesn't even realize they have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder or are suffering with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health physician's office or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, steps can be put forth to help the person become mentally stable, and this may involve the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, clients struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and medical professionals can evaluate medication records and recommend steps which can be taken to get rid of the need for medication. Clients can be carefully weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to abuse.
