Mental Health Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Houston, OH.

Mental health treatment is often an important aspect of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, because 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 increasingly evident over the last few years, and many rehabilitation facilities in Houston also 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 involves the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, especially when addiction is present. Often, the person doesn't even realize 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 person become mentally stable, and this may involve the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, individuals suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with substance use or possibly misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and mental health practitioners can determine medication records and suggest steps which can be put forth to eliminate the need for medication. Individuals can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to misuse.
