Mental health treatment is often an essential aspect of the treatment of addiction disorders, because many people with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The need for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more evident over the last few years, and many treatment programs in North Tonawanda now offer 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 starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's mental health issue, especially when addiction is present. Oftentimes, the individual 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, actions can be taken to help the person become mentally stable, and this may involve the use of certain psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication administration or cessation of medication. In many instances however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol or possibly misusing their medications. In these cases, treatment staff and medical practitioners can assess medication histories and recommend actions which can be introduced to do away with the need for medication. Clients can be carefully weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
