Mental Health Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Nelson, PA.

Mental health treatment is often an important part of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, because many individuals with substance abuse issues struggle with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly apparent over the last few years, and many rehab facilities in Nelson also offer dual diagnosis treatment as part of a wider range of services over and above traditional and more progressive rehabilitation methods.

In most cases, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's mental health issue, particularly when addiction is present. Often, the individual doesn't even realize 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, steps can be put forth to help the person become mentally stable, and this can involve the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, individuals struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and medical professionals can review medication records and propose steps which can be put forth to remove the need for medication. Individuals can be carefully weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to abuse.
