Mental health treatment is often an important part of the treatment of addiction disorders, because a significantly large number of people with substance abuse issues struggle with a co-occurring mental health problem. The necessity for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become increasingly evident over the last few years, and many rehab programs in Westchester now offer dual diagnosis treatment as part of a wider range of services over and above conventional and more progressive rehabilitation methods.
In most instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, especially when substance abuse is involved. 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, corrective steps can be completed to help the person resolve issues and become more stable, and this may include the use of specific counseling, therapies, and possibly medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, clients suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with substance use or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these circumstances, treatment staff and mental health specialists can assess medication histories and suggest steps which can be taken to remove the need for medication. Patients can be harmlessly weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
