Mental health treatment is often an essential part of the treatment of addiction disorders, because a significantly large number of people with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The need for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more evident over the last several years, and many rehabilitation programs in Easton also provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most instances, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, particularly when addiction is present. Oftentimes, the client doesn't even realize they have an anxiety disorder or are suffering with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health clinic or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, actions can be taken to help the person resolve issues and become more stable, and this can include the use of various 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 substance use or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these instances, rehab staff and medical professionals can evaluate medication records and propose actions which can be introduced to remove the need for medication. Patients can be safely weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to abuse.
