Mental health treatment has become an essential part of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, because a significantly large number of individuals with an addiction disorder also suffer with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly evident over the last several years, and many rehab facilities in Atlantic City now provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In many instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, especially when substance abuse is involved. In many cases, the person doesn't even realize 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 taken to help the client resolve issues and become more stable, and this may involve the use of certain counseling, therapies, and perhaps medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, individuals suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these instances, rehab staff and medical professionals can review medication records and propose actions which can be put forth to do away with the need for medication. Clients can be harmlessly weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to misuse.
