Mental health treatment has become an important aspect of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, due to the fact that many people with an addiction disorder struggle with a co-occurring mental health problem. The need for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more apparent over the last several years, and many treatment programs in Fayetteville now offer dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, especially when addiction is present. Often, the client doesn't initially even know 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 completed to help the person resolve issues and become more stable, and this might involve the use of certain counseling, therapies, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these instances, professional staff and mental health practitioners can determine medication histories and recommend actions which can be put forth to eliminate the need for medication. Patients can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to abuse.
