Mental health treatment is an important part of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, due to the fact that many individuals with substance abuse issues struggle with a co-occurring mental health issue. The need for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more evident over the last several years, and many rehabilitation facilities in Charlestown now provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's disorder, especially when addiction is present. In many cases, 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 clinic or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, treatment steps can be completed to help the client become mentally stable, and this may include the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, people struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these instances, rehab staff and mental health practitioners can evaluate medication records and suggest actions which can be put forth to remove the need for medication. Clients can be harmlessly weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
