Mental Health Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Belden, MS.

Mental health treatment has become an essential component of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, due to the fact that many individuals with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The necessity for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly apparent over the last several years, and many treatment programs in Belden now offer dual diagnosis treatment 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 the person's disorder, particularly when substance abuse is involved. In many cases, the person doesn't even realize they have an 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 put forth to help the individual become mentally stable, and this can include the use of various psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with substance use or perhaps misusing their medications. In these instances, rehab staff and medical practitioners can review medication histories and recommend steps which can be taken to remove the need for medication. Patients can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to abuse.
