Mental health treatment is an important aspect of the treatment of addiction disorders, because many people with an addiction disorder also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The need for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more apparent over the last few years, and many treatment centers in Latrobe also provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a wider range of services in addition to conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In many cases, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, particularly when substance abuse is involved. Oftentimes, the client doesn't even realize they have an anxiety disorder or are suffering with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health physician's office or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, actions can be put forth to help the person become mentally stable, and this may involve the use of various psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, clients struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or perhaps misusing their medications. In these circumstances, rehab staff and mental health practitioners can evaluate medication records and suggest steps which can be taken to get rid of the need for medication. Patients can be carefully weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to misuse.
