Mental health treatment has become an essential part of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, because a considerably large number of people with substance abuse issues struggle with a co-occurring mental health problem. The necessity for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more apparent over the last few years, and many rehabilitation facilities in St. Petersburg now offer dual diagnosis treatment as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to traditional and more progressive rehabilitation methods.
In most 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 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 completed to help the individual become mentally stable, and this can involve the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication administration or cessation of medication. In many instances however, individuals suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these circumstances, rehab staff and mental health practitioners can determine medication histories and propose actions which can be taken to remove the need for medication. People can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
