Mental health treatment is often an important part of the treatment of addiction disorders, because a significantly large number of individuals with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The necessity for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly evident over the last several years, and many rehab centers in Sanford also provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a wider range of services over and above traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In many cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, especially when addiction is present. Oftentimes, the client doesn't even realize 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, corrective steps can be taken to help the person become mentally stable, and this might include the use of certain counseling, therapies, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, clients suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with substance use or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these instances, treatment staff and mental health practitioners can assess medication histories and propose actions which can be taken to remove the need for medication. People can be harmlessly weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to misuse.
