Mental health treatment has become an essential part of the treatment of substance 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 treatment has become increasingly evident over the last few years, and many rehabilitation facilities in Fairport now provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a broader spectrum of services over and above traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most instances, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, particularly when substance abuse is involved. In many cases, the person doesn't even realize they have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder or are struggling with depression until it is discovered in a mental health physician's office or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, steps can be put forth to help the person become mentally stable, and this might involve the use of specific counseling, therapies, and perhaps medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, clients suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and mental health practitioners can determine medication records and propose actions which can be taken to eliminate the need for medication. Clients can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
