Mental health treatment is often an essential part of the treatment of addiction disorders, due to the fact that many individuals 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 rehab centers in Joliet also offer dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In many instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's mental health issue, particularly when substance abuse is involved. Oftentimes, 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, treatment steps can be completed to help the individual become mentally stable, and this may include the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, clients struggling with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and mental health practitioners can assess medication histories and propose actions which can be put forth to get rid of the need for medication. People can be safely weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
