Mental Health Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Austin, PA.

Mental health treatment has become an important component of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, due to the fact that many individuals with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become more and more evident over the last few years, and many treatment facilities in Austin also offer dual diagnosis treatment as part of a broader spectrum of services together with traditional and more progressive rehabilitation methods.

In most cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's disorder, particularly when addiction is present. In many cases, the person doesn't even realize they have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder or are struggling with depression until it is discovered in a mental health physician's office or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, treatment steps can be completed to help the individual become mentally stable, and this can include the use of certain counseling, therapies, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, individuals struggling with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these instances, professional staff and mental health specialists can review medication records and suggest actions which can be put forth to eliminate the need for medication. Patients can be harmlessly weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to misuse.
