Mental Health Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lake Placid, NY.

Mental health treatment has become an important aspect of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, due to the fact that many individuals with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly evident over the last several years, and many rehabilitation facilities in Lake Placid now provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a broader spectrum of services together with 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. Often, the person doesn't initially even know they have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder or are struggling with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health physician's office or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, steps can be put forth to help the individual become mentally stable, and this may involve the use of various psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, individuals struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly misusing their medications. In these instances, rehab staff and mental health specialists can review medication histories and propose actions which can be put forth to get rid of the need for medication. Individuals can be harmlessly weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
