Mental Health Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Macedonia, IL.

Mental health treatment has become an important aspect of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, because many individuals with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly evident over the last several years, and many treatment facilities in Macedonia also offer dual diagnosis treatment as part of a wider range of services in addition to conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.

In most cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's mental health issue, especially when substance abuse is involved. Often, the client 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, steps can be put forth to help the person become mentally stable, and this may include the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, clients struggling with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol or perhaps misusing their medications. In these cases, treatment staff and mental health specialists can assess medication histories and recommend steps which can be put forth to eliminate the need for medication. Clients can be carefully weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
