Mental health treatment is often an important part of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, due to the fact that many people with an addiction disorder struggle with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become more and more apparent over the last several years, and many rehabilitation programs in Clifton Springs also provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a wider range of services over and above traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In many instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's mental health issue, especially when addiction is present. In many cases, the client doesn't even realize they have an anxiety disorder or are struggling with depression until it is discovered in a mental health clinic or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, corrective steps can be taken to help the individual become mentally stable, and this might involve the use of various psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication administration or cessation of medication. In many instances however, clients struggling with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these instances, rehab staff and medical professionals can evaluate medication histories and propose steps which can be introduced to remove the need for medication. Patients can be safely weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
