Mental health treatment is often an important aspect of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, due to the fact that many people with an addiction disorder struggle with a co-occurring mental health problem. The necessity for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more evident over the last few years, and many rehab programs in International Falls also provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In many instances, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of the person's mental health issue, particularly when addiction is present. Often, the person doesn't even realize 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, steps can be taken to help the person resolve issues and become more stable, and this may involve the use of certain counseling, therapies, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, clients struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, treatment staff and mental health specialists can assess medication histories and propose actions which can be put forth to eliminate the need for medication. Patients can be carefully weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to abuse.
