Mental Health Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Guilford, NY.

Mental health treatment is often an important component of the treatment of addiction disorders, due to the fact that a significantly large number of people with an addiction disorder struggle with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The necessity for dual diagnosis treatment has become more and more apparent over the last several years, and many rehabilitation facilities in Guilford now provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a broader spectrum of services over and above traditional and more progressive rehabilitation methods.

In many cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, particularly when substance abuse is involved. In many cases, the client doesn't initially even know they have an anxiety disorder or are struggling with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health clinic or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, steps can be completed to help the client become mentally stable, and this can include the use of various psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, clients struggling with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and medical practitioners can assess medication histories and suggest actions which can be introduced to remove the need for medication. Clients can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to misuse.
