Mental Health Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Greenwood, ME.

Mental health treatment is an important component of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, because many people with substance abuse issues struggle with a co-occurring mental health issue. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly apparent over the last several years, and many rehab facilities in Greenwood also provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a wider range of services in addition to conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.

In many cases, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of an individual's mental health issue, particularly when substance abuse is involved. Often, the person doesn't initially even know they have an undiagnosed 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 taken to help the individual resolve issues and become more stable, and this may include the use of certain psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly misusing their medications. In these circumstances, treatment staff and mental health practitioners can review medication histories and recommend 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.
