Mental health treatment has become an important part of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, because many people with substance abuse issues struggle with a co-occurring mental health issue. The need for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become increasingly apparent over the last few years, and many rehabilitation centers in Charleston also provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a broader spectrum of services over and above traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most cases, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, especially when addiction is present. In many cases, the client doesn't initially even know 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, actions can be completed to help the person resolve issues and become more stable, and this might include the use of various psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly misusing their medications. In these instances, rehab staff and mental health specialists can review medication records and recommend actions which can be introduced to eliminate the need for medication. People can be safely weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to abuse.
