Mental health treatment has become an important aspect of the treatment of addiction disorders, because many people with an addiction disorder also suffer with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The necessity for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more apparent over the last few years, and many rehabilitation programs in Lincoln also provide 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 involves the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, particularly when substance abuse is involved. Oftentimes, the person doesn't initially even know they have an undiagnosed 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 become mentally stable, and this can involve the use of various counseling, therapies, and perhaps medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, clients suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these circumstances, rehab staff and mental health specialists can evaluate medication records and recommend steps which can be taken to remove the need for medication. Clients can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to abuse.
