Mental health treatment is often an important part of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, because many people with an addiction disorder struggle with a co-occurring mental health issue. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly evident over the last few years, and many treatment facilities in St. Peter also provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a broader spectrum of services over and above traditional and more progressive rehabilitation methods.
In most cases, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of an individual's disorder, particularly when substance abuse is involved. In many cases, 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, steps can be completed to help the client become mentally stable, and this might involve the use of specific counseling, therapies, and perhaps medication administration or cessation of medication. In many instances however, people struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these circumstances, treatment staff and medical professionals can evaluate medication records and suggest actions which can be put forth to remove the need for medication. Clients can be harmlessly weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to abuse.
