Mental health treatment has become an important component of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, because many people with substance abuse issues struggle with a co-occurring mental health issue. The necessity for dual diagnosis treatment has become more and more evident over the last several years, and many rehabilitation centers in Rayville also provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a wider range of services in addition to traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's mental health issue, particularly when substance abuse is involved. Often, the client doesn't initially even know 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, corrective steps can be put forth to help the individual resolve issues and become more stable, and this may include the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, clients struggling with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, treatment staff and mental health professionals can determine medication records and propose steps which can be introduced to eliminate 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.
