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

Mental health treatment has become an important part of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, due to the fact that a significantly large number of people with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly evident over the last few years, and many rehab programs in Lehigh Valley also provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.

In most instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's mental health issue, especially when addiction is present. Often, the person doesn't initially even know 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, corrective steps can be put forth to help the client resolve issues and become more stable, and this may include the use of various psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with substance use or perhaps misusing their medications. In these circumstances, rehab staff and medical professionals can evaluate medication histories and propose actions which can be put forth to do away with the need for medication. Patients can be safely weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
