Mental Health Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Otoe, NE.

Mental health treatment has become an important aspect of the treatment of addiction disorders, due to the fact that a significantly large number of people with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The necessity for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly evident over the last few years, and many rehab facilities in Otoe now provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a wider range of services in addition to conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.

In most instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's mental health issue, particularly when addiction is present. In many cases, the client doesn't even realize they have an 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 become mentally stable, and this may involve the use of certain psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, individuals struggling with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and mental health professionals can determine medication histories and recommend actions which can be taken to eliminate the need for medication. Patients can be carefully weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
