Mental health treatment is an important component of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, because a significantly large number of people with substance abuse issues struggle with a co-occurring mental health problem. The necessity for dual diagnosis treatment has become more and more apparent over the last several years, and many rehabilitation facilities in Penn Yan also provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a wider range of services in addition to conventional and more progressive rehabilitation methods.
In most cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's mental health issue, especially when substance abuse is involved. Often, 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 clinic or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, treatment steps can be completed to help the person resolve issues and become more stable, and this can include the use of various counseling, therapies, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with substance use or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and mental health professionals can determine medication records and propose actions which can be taken to do away with the need for medication. Patients can be safely weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to abuse.
