Mental Health Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Sterling, OK.

Mental health treatment is often an important component of the treatment of addiction disorders, due to the fact that many people with an addiction disorder also suffer with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become more and more apparent over the last few years, and many rehab facilities in Sterling also provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a wider range of services over and above traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.

In many cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's disorder, particularly when addiction is present. In many cases, the individual doesn't even realize they have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder or are suffering with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health physician's office or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, treatment steps can be taken to help the person become mentally stable, and this can include the use of certain psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these instances, professional staff and medical specialists can assess medication records and propose steps which can be put forth to eliminate the need for medication. People can be carefully weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
