Mental health treatment has become an essential part of the treatment of addiction disorders, due to the fact that a significantly large number of people with an addiction disorder also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The need for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more apparent over the last few years, and many rehab centers in Oakdale now offer dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a wider range of services in addition to traditional and more progressive rehabilitation methods.
In many instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, particularly when substance abuse is involved. Oftentimes, the client doesn't even realize they have an anxiety disorder or are suffering 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 person become mentally stable, and this can involve the use of specific counseling, therapies, and possibly medication administration or cessation of medication. In many instances however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and medical professionals can review medication records and propose actions which can be introduced to remove the need for medication. Patients can be carefully weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to misuse.
