Mental Health Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Athens, GA.

Mental health treatment is often an important part of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, because many individuals with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly apparent over the last several years, and many rehabilitation facilities in Athens now provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to traditional and more progressive rehabilitation methods.

In many cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's disorder, particularly when substance abuse is involved. In many cases, 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 put forth to help the client resolve issues and become more stable, and this may incorporate the use of specific counseling, therapies, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, individuals suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or perhaps misusing their medications. In these circumstances, treatment staff and mental health specialists can assess medication records and propose steps which can be introduced to remove the need for medication. Patients can be harmlessly weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to abuse.
