Mental health treatment is often an important aspect of the treatment of addiction disorders, because many individuals with an addiction disorder struggle with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become more and more evident over the last few years, and many rehab centers in Doylestown also provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a wider range of services in addition to traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, especially when addiction is present. 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 physician's office or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, corrective steps can be taken to help the client become mentally stable, and this can involve the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, individuals suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, professional staff and mental health practitioners can evaluate medication histories and propose actions which can be taken to remove the need for medication. Clients can be carefully weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to abuse.
