Mental Health Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Emerson, IA.

Mental health treatment is an essential component of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, because a significantly large number of people with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The necessity for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become increasingly apparent over the last few years, and many rehabilitation centers in Emerson now offer dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a wider range of services over and above traditional and more progressive rehabilitation methods.

In most cases, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of the person's mental health issue, especially when substance abuse is involved. In many cases, the individual doesn't initially even know 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, treatment steps can be taken to help the person become mentally stable, and this can incorporate the use of specific counseling, therapies, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, individuals suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and mental health practitioners can determine medication records and recommend steps which can be introduced to remove the need for medication. Patients can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to abuse.
