Mental Health Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Albany, NY.

Mental health treatment has become an important part of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, because a considerably large number of individuals with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health issue. The necessity for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly evident over the last few years, and many rehabilitation programs in Albany also provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to conventional and more progressive rehabilitation methods.

In many instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's mental health issue, especially when addiction is present. Often, the client 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, treatment steps can be put forth to help the person become mentally stable, and this might involve the use of various counseling, therapies, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, clients suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, professional staff and mental health specialists can assess medication histories and recommend steps which can be taken to eliminate the need for medication. Clients can be carefully weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to misuse.
