Mental Health Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Waterville, MN.

Mental health treatment has become an essential part of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, because many people with substance abuse issues struggle with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly evident over the last few years, and many rehabilitation centers in Waterville now provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.

In most cases, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of an individual's mental health issue, especially when addiction is present. Oftentimes, 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 completed to help the client become mentally stable, and this can incorporate the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, clients struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and medical professionals can assess medication histories and recommend actions which can be taken to do away with the need for medication. Clients can be carefully weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to abuse.
