Mental health treatment has become an essential component of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, because many individuals with an addiction disorder struggle 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 Arlington also provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a broader spectrum of services over and above 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, particularly when substance abuse is involved. In many cases, the client doesn't even realize they have an anxiety disorder or are struggling 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 person resolve issues and become more stable, and this can include the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, clients struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these instances, treatment staff and mental health professionals can evaluate medication records and recommend steps which can be put forth to eliminate the need for medication. Clients can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to abuse.
