Mental Health Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Athens, NY.

Mental health treatment is often an important component of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, because a significantly large number of people with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health issue. The need for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become increasingly evident over the last few years, and many rehabilitation programs in Athens now offer dual diagnosis treatment as part of a wider range of services together with conventional and more progressive rehabilitation methods.

In most cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's mental health issue, particularly when addiction is present. Oftentimes, the client doesn't initially even know they have an anxiety disorder or are suffering with depression until it is discovered in a mental health clinic or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, corrective steps can be completed 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 instances however, individuals suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or perhaps misusing their medications. In these circumstances, rehab staff and mental health practitioners can evaluate medication histories and propose steps which can be taken to get rid of the need for medication. Patients can be harmlessly weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
